2 - scent

it's been five days ever since junmyeon brought you to the hybrid center. he visits sometimes and explained that his job takes up
most of his time, and you understand. you've been a bit close to yoora, yixing, minseok and jongin. they were all friends of junmyeon and are very kind people. you also met a few hybrids that you actually like to hang out with, they're sandara, tao and yifan.

the first one to approach you was sandara, she was a very friendly person and she's a lioness hybrid. she became your friend, and after that she introduced you to zitao, who prefers to be called tao. he's a panda hybrid and he's really cute, he likes to hug you and cuddle because he says your fur is very soft.

yifan didn't exactly became your friend at first, he was quiet and mysterious like you. when the two of you got left alone, you decided to read a book even though you don't understand most of what's written on the book. yifan noticed and he helped you read, then you two clicked and became friends after that.

now, you were watching tao and sandara bicker over food with an amused smile. yifan was snickering beside you as he eats. dara and tao would always bicker over little things, it's just the way they are. apparently they grew up together and treat each other like real siblings.

just as you were about to eat your peanut butter and jelly sandwich, a scent invades your nosetrills. it's not a normal human scent or hybrid scent, it was different. a good kind of different.

it was a sweet and indescribable scent, you couldn't help but keep smelling it.

you dropped your sandwich to your plate and stood up. yifan noticed. "y/n? where are you going?"

you casually pointed to the hallway that leads to the restroom
and yifan nodded. once you got into the hallway, you didn't go to the restroom, obviously. you followed where the scent was leading you. turning to a corner, you were determined to follow the scent and find it when you suddenly bumped into something.

more specifically, someone.

you looked up, startled and slightly scared because you weren't really that comfortable with other humans and not all of them are nice. but when your eyes matched with a pair of dark brown ones, your fear was gone. the sweet and indescribable scent fills up your nosetrills again, much stronger and powerful this time.

"i'm sorry," the blonde haired guy apologized, bowing his head a little and disconnecting his eyes from yours.

but he reconnected them when he stood up straight, looking at you with this expression that you can't really explain. it wasn't a bad expression, you were sure of that. you weren't sure of what was happening, you two were just standing there and staring at each other's eyes for some unknown reason.

"y/n?" you were snapped out of your staring contest when you were yixing's voice. "hey, what are you doing here? do you need something?"

you shook your head in response and glanced at the man beside yixing. he saw you look at his friend and smiled. "oh! y/n, this is sehun, he's a good friend of mine, myeonnie hyung and minseok hyung and jongin. by the way, have you seen them?"

you nodded your head this time, pointing to the hallway which leads to the garden where minseok and jongin are. yixing thanks you and smiles at you, before tugging sehun's arm and pulling him along with him.

you watched as sehun and yixing walked down the hallway and disappears. the scent—sehun's scent was still the only thing you could smell and you were confused, you didn't know why you could smell his scent stronger than most people and hybrids. you wanted to follow them, him more specifically, but you figured you didn't know what you'll do once you were there so you just walked back into the canteen where your friends are.

while you were eating with your friends, sehun was with jongin, minseok and yixing as they catch up on some things. he couldn't stop thinking about you, it might've sound exaggerated and cliché but it's true. there was something about your eyes that he can't unsee nor want to unsee. there was something about you that just... pulls him in.

in a matter of a few seconds of meeting each other, you were both hooked and you both didn't know why.

"sehun-ah?" minseok waved his hand in front of his younger friend's face, snapping him out of his thoughts. "are you okay? you're staring at nothing."

"yeah, i'm good." sehun nodded his head, then his eyes flickered onto yixing. he thought of you again, and couldn't help but ask. "y/n, is she new here?"

yixing nodded his head with a small smile. "yeah! myeonnie hyung brought her here five days ago, saved her from song jaehyuk."

sehun knew who the said man was and cringed. song jaehyuk was well-known for all his illegal business and sehun couldn't be more relieved that he's behind bars now.

"why'd you ask?" jongin asked the blonde.

"nothing." he quickly avoided his hyungs' gazes.

minseok and jongin looked at each other with knowing looks, then sent the same look to yixing, who didn't get it. his eyebrows are furrowed in confusion, the older guy rolled his eyes and jongin shook his head in amusement, before sending him another knowing look and yixing finally got the message, his mouth forming to an 'o' shape.

"let's go to the canteen, i'm pretty hungry." minseok casually spoke, rubbing his tummy with a smile before taking the lead of going to the canteen where most of the hybrids and other workers are at.

as soon as sehun and his hyungs entered the canteen, you immediately picked up his scent that's now stronger and you looked up, eyes landing on him quickly. you tried to act cool and pretended to listen to what sandara is telling, but you're silently watching the tall blonde as he talks to jongin, yixing and minseok.

"is that sehun?" you heard tao's excited voice that made you look at him. "dara, yifan! sehunnie's here!"

an excited tao stood up from his seat and grabbed yifan's wrist, pulling him up as well as they both approached sehun. dara stayed behind with you, patiently waiting for your friends to come back. when they did, they weren't alone. they brought yixing, jongin, minseok, yoora and sehun along with them.

"annyeong sehunnie!" dara cheerfully greeted and the said guy waved at her with a smile. "sehunnie, this is y/n. she's new here. y/n, this is sehun, he's a good friend."

even though the both of you met each other a few moments ago, you still nodded as a sign of greeting. your friends sat down, yifan on your left and beside him was jongin while dara, tao, yoora, and minseok are across. sehun had no choice but to sit down next to you.

you felt your face heat up when his arm brushed against yours and you shyly glanced at him, seeing him glancing at you as well. you both looked away from each other and you pretended to listen to what your friends have to tell. but all your attention was on the guy seated to your right, how strong you can smell his scent and how comfy his warmth feels.

you didn't know why, but you kind of felt safe around him.
