❝ Inside the empty spot in my heart,
There's a piece called you taking place,
I just know it. ❞
Third Person's POV
"So... Are you telling me that you never ever had feelings for Jeno?" Sehun mumbled, or asked more like to himself.
He never admitted it, hell, he knew he would never admit the undeniable bitter feelings which would wash over him at the intimacy level of Jeno and Amelia. He was aware of how close the two were, but being human and being utterly bewitched and smitten with Amelia, he knew those feelings were inevitable.
"Why, are you jealous?" She teased, wiggling her eyebrows at him. Heat rushed to his cheeks and the tips of his ears even turned red.
Sehun opened his mouth to say something and before he even knew it, he was stuttering, "I-I mean... It's just he's really amazing, y-you know - "
"I know right? Jeno is an amazing guy. But I feel like I have always loved him," She answered, causing Sehun's heart drop down but she quickly added, "Not the way you're probably suspecting. " Sehun visibly relaxed. Her former words literally made him look like a kicked puppy and it made her internally coo at him. Amelia noticed his emotions and change in behaviour as well, an aspect which warmed her heart.
She, however, remained true to him and admitted, "But yes, I did have a crush on him before. But then again , who wouldn't? He's so gentle but extremely hilarious that it's hard to ignore someone like him, " She gushed with hands flying here and there to express her words more. Sehun loved seeing that side of her, so carefree and open.
Only if the topic was not about her hitting on someone else.
Sehun shook those thoughts away and focused her on chatty self, purely bewitched under her breathtaking features.
"But why did you ask that question like twice?"
Sehun shrugged, hands still intertwined with hers. He was trying to act like her absolute undeniable preference over her best friend didn't affect him when in reality it always caused him to grow jealous, especially after acknowledging the fact that she used to have crush on her eye smiling prince of a best friend.
"I don't know, you guys seem very close, very," Sehun truly didn't want to sound bitter but even Amelia could hear the jealousy in his voice, "And he's a nice person.. So..."
The jealousy in his words and tone caused her hopes to sky rocket. What if they could actually make the relationship work? But he hasn't said anything to you, yet. She closed her eyes for a brief moment so as to not mis-analyze his actions and get the hopes high just in order to crush it back again.
"Jeno is very important to me, that's all," She answered and gently pulled her hand away from Sehun's grip, making Sehun's heart drop to his stomach. But he didn't do anything because he was afraid she'd be uncomfortable with him if he held her again, so he awkwardly retreated his hand back and rested it on the steering wheel.
However, Amelia decided to end the Renjun topic with something important, "I think the final reason when I was sure that I was over him was when I realized that even if we were not together anymore, once upon time we were really together and we were in love then."
He words caused Sehun to furrow his eyebrows, perplexed. Amelia noticed his expression and again turned towards him fully, turning her body to explain him more better.
"I mean to say, only because we broke up and we aren't together anymore doesn't mean that we didn't love each other. Our moments and the love was real, and the confirmation is when you feel the pain when separating from them.
"When we feel pain and crushed because of something which was led in the past, we normally think that we committed a mistake by letting that person go. But when we just trust ourselves and life with it, we heal with time. Believe me, if you've ended things the way you know you should without holding any hard feelings or unspoken words, you are really ready to let go and move on. Only then, I believe, is when with the passage of time, you are able to heal yourself. And then when you look back, you realize that some things are meant to happen and may be, just may be, everything happens for good. So that you can reach where you are now."
••••••
Amelia took note of the familiar buildings and suddenly her heart lurched up her throat when she noticed where Sehun was taking her.
The area was not that bright as the wedding day but it was still lightened up by the lamps and beautiful golden fairy lights. Her mind immediately went back to day when she and Sehun got married because he brought her to the same wedding hall where they celebrated their union.
"Why are we here?" Her voice was laced with numerous emotions, quiet but soft.
Sehun turned to look at her, daintily holding her hands in both of his. It was pretty palpable that two were nervous, heart racing rapidly.
"Just trust me, okay? Do you trust me?"
"Yes." She answered in a heartbeat and felt Sehun relax, a small smile playing on his lips.
His eyes were gleaming with delight and it made her wonder what he was up to. The pure adoration and innocence held between his irises caused butterflies to flutter in her stomach, her heart pounding against her ribcage.
"Then follow me."
Sehun's hand interlaced hers as he gently tugged her to follow him, taking her to a place where he wanted to let her know of his deepest feelings. They crossed the hall and headed left which led to the garden.
The sun was already setting and the two lovers were now engulfed in the night sky, the crisp air nipping on their skins. They reached the door which led to the garden and Amelia caught her breath, her mind only occupied by their interlinked hands and the warmth of his palm and simply his presence. She felt elated and it was difficult to describe the amount of joy she felt with Sehun's presence just beside her.
I wouldn't have it any other way.
The garden was decorated in the simple design it normally had but the flowers and the decoration of the altar were different and it resembled the one they had on their wedding.
"Remember this place?" Sehun's voice was as smooth as silk, letting Amelia look around the nostalgic place.
Of course she remembers the place.
How could Amelia forget the place they were scheduled to meet after their marriage agreement?
How could she forget the place they met for the first time after graduating school? Oh she remembers the surprise she felt when her mother confronted her that Sehun was the one they chose and he was her fiancé. She was flabbergasted and almost ran away but when Sehun smiled softly at her, she knew the two were in this together.
"Amelia," Sehun called softly and she turned to look at him. He smiled and stared up at the night sky, seeing the moon glowing in its ethereal light against the darkness, "The moon is beautiful, isn't it?"
Amelia looked up at the sky and noticed the beautiful stars and the moon, a smile playing in her lips. Everything felt so beautiful and peaceful that it was almost surreal i her eyes. She hummed in agreement, glancing briefly at him before she looked around.
The garden was lit and the aisle was still set up.
"Was there a wedding or are they decorating for an upcoming wedding?" Amelia questioned, looking around the delight.
"No, it was my plan. For you."
It was an succinct answer but it managed to take her breath away, heart pounding painfully loud against her chest. Her eyes almost watered when she turned to look at her husband.
Sehun, my husband.
He was already staring at her, eyes filled with adoration and admiration with an adorable smile etched on his handsome face. He looked amazing but he also managed to look extremely adorable under the night sky and because of the golden lights and fairy lights.
Sehun was stood at the altar and he held his hand out to her, motioning her to come near him. Amelia didn't need to think twice because before she could even react, her feet already walked towards his direction, hand going to hold outstretched one. When she stood near him, he again held both of her hands in his.
The pounding of her heart was so loud that it felt like she could literally hear nothing if he spoke. It was mutual for Sehun. But he was beyond nervous and he almost wanted to cry but he needed to gather up the courage if he really wanted her to stay and spend the rest of his life with her. Sehun wanted to shower Amelia with so much love and he wanted to kiss her so bad.
The intensity of Sehun's gaze made her knees go weak and she was sure she would have fainted if it wasn't Sehun's grip on her heart. Her poor heart was beating so erratically that it it felt like all her thoughts escaped her mind and each and every part of her was filled with the thought of Sehun only. Amelia almost felt like she forgot to even breath, especially when Sehun daintily wrapped one arm around her waist, pulling her flush against him.
She shifted her gaze to his neck, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down in nervousness.
The closeness between the two set up a new tension, an unspoken desire. His breath gently fanned her cheek and she shut her eyes in nervousness, eyes stinging because she felt too emotional at his action. Instinctively, one her hands rested on his arm and the other held his shoulder.
It was a mere touch but the two knew one thing; the touches between the two were insatiable.
It was nearly impossible to ignore the love and desire between the two, hearts filled with so much respect, admiration and affection for each other.
"Hey, look at me..." Sehun whispered but Amelia held her eyes closed, taking a deep breath but her nostrils were hit by his intoxicating cologne of Sehun; a mix of the beautiful freshness of it and a smell only Sehun held.
Sehun's index finger rested on her chin and he gently lifted her face to look at him. He noticed her closed eyes and then his gaze fell on her lips. It was softly coated with a warming cherry pink which faded a little. Her lips look inviting, soft and plump so he had to look at away.
"Look at me, please..."
Amelia slowly opened her eyes only to be greeted by Sehun being so close to her. Normally, she would feel very insecure and angry when someone else would invade her personal bubble.
But then, Sehun wasn't just 'someone else'.
Amelia loves him and she knew how much he respects her, as much as she respects him.
"I need to tell you something... Very important."
Was this it? Was this the ending? Was he going to end their relation in the same place they got engaged?
"I-If t-this is about us separating then I - " Amelia stuttered, her voice wavering. She didn't want to hear it. But Sehun interrupted her.
When he noticed her panicked look, his hands immediately travelled up to gently cup her cheeks, stroking her right cheek with his thumb to calm her down.
"I don't want to separate from you. I don't want you to leave." Sehun finally said it. The same words he wanted to scream it to the world.
Sehun breathed in deeply, gazing at her who was shocked. For a moment Amelia thought he was joking. She searched his eyes to see if he was messing around with her or lying.
But none was found.
His eyes were so full of emotions and as much as she found it very shy to admit it to herself, she noticed how his irises looked like he was afraid to lose her. His irises were watering and she found affection pooling between them.
He admitted, "I don't want to let you go. I really don't want to. And no, before you jump into conclusions about me doing this only because of our parents, then no. They already know the state we are in and as much as our broken selves hurts them, they at last care for our happiness no matter what step we take.
"This isn't about our parents, the society or anyone else. This is the two of us. It's about us. I don't care about what anyone thinks because you're the only one who matters in my life now, Amelia. I don't know what I will do without you." He chuckled and realized that tears trickled down his cheeks only when Amelia lifted her hand to wipe his tears away.
Sehun stared at her with so much adoration that any person would be jealous about their relation and especially Amelia. But Amelia's irises danced with affection for her.
The two were so in love with each other.
Amelia stared up at him, "But what about Yuna...?"
Sehun winced at the way Amelia sounded so broken by even mentioning her name. It made him want to beat himself up for hurting her in the first place. He looked contrite and anguished.
"I have decided to move on from her. Today... Your words were the eye opener for me, Amelia. And I'm so sorry for hurting you," A sob rumbled in his chest, escaping his lips and Amelia's heart tugged at the sound, "I'm so sorry for hurting you. I don't love her, not anymore.
"And I will gladly do anything and everything to prove that to you. I need you and I want you, only you, Amelia. I will spend the rest of my life to make it up to you. You mean a lot to me, so much more than you or anyone can think. "
Amelia pulled him in for a hug which he gladly accepted. Her arms wrapped around his torso as he embraced her form and hid his face in the crook of neck.
"You mean a lot to me too, Sehun."
Because now that you are here, I can't imagine a life without you.
••••••
The drive back home was filled with undeniable smiles and shy glances.
Amelia and Sehun literally were like two teenagers in love. The two were extremely enamoured for each other.
Words were not enough to explain the overwhelming emotions running through Amelia's veins. It still felt like a dream, all too real and all too beautiful. But she knew it wasn't a lie because his eyes depicted everything, and his actions were so affectionate that it was impossible to let go of his hand for even a few moments.
Sehun found it difficult to let go of her hand too.
"Can I hold your hand?"
"Won't it be distracting you from pulling the gear?"
Well, Amelia had a point.
"Can I, though?"
"Sure, but no, if it will distract you from driving. Because, safety first."
Sehun didn't pull his attention away from the road but his lower lip jutted out in a pout. Her heart warmed when she saw him all cute and pouty as her head leaned against the leather of the passenger seat. However, Sehun got an idea. He slightly leaned towards her, eyes still focused on the road, and grabbed her hand to place it on top of the gear as he encased her hand with his on top.
That night the two happily wished each other good night. They headed to bed with smiles etched on their faces and hearts racing, totally not hearing the soft cries of Vivi as he entered Amelia's room instead.
