Chapter 4 (1/1)

The wind blows and the green leaves in the trees rustled. You shuddered at the cold air while looking at the night sky. You were sitting comfortably on the grass and sigh in complete awe, amazed at the beautiful view, staring up at the stars and the full moon tonight was the most refreshing and relaxing thing you did after all the exhausting trip since you left home.“You should sleep princess.” You turned around and saw Sehun sits beside you. “It’s going to be a long day tomorrow. Luhan’s location is still far from here,” he reminded you.You glanced at him and can’t help but to admire the handsome immortal beside you. He was so close to you that you could feel the tip of your hand slightly brushed to his.“There’s something I have to tell you, princess...” Sehun breathe.“Hmm?” You stared at him."what is it?"  “I really like you.” You were taken aback at his sudden confession. You quickly turned your back to see Baekhyun, Chanyeol, Suho and Lay sleeping, afraid that they might have heard what Sehun just said to you.You sigh when you saw them asleep.“Don’t say something like that, it’s not funny. They might hear you.” You whispered to him.“But I’m serious.” Sehun looked hurt.“You can't be serious... I mean… we just met earlier.” You giggled quietly, remembering the moment you met him in the dessert.     Everything was blurred because of the pouring rain and the strong wind that you almost thought it was a typoon and not Suho’s doings.When Sehun falls from the sky, you kept thinking if he was a fallen angel because of his angelic face and you had to admit that you were attracted to him when you first saw him.The riddle he gave you was very difficult and you had a hard time thinking what it is, but when you couldn’t think of an answer, Sehun suddenly disappeared. You felt your hopes crushed down in an instant. The thought of failing your parents and the people of your kingdom is indeed unbearable.That’s when you felt the cold wind that sends chills to every part of your body.“Wind.” You finally break the stiff air that hides your trembling lips; afraid that you might be too late or worst… muttered the wrong answer.Seconds ticked and the immortal still didn’t appear, not until you felt warm hands wrapped around your waist and someone leaned to your shoulder, so close that you felt soft lips brushed to your bare neck. It felt good.“You answer is right, master… I'm yours from now on.” Sehun’s voice was seductive.You blushed again. Seriously?When Suho noticed your flustered face, he pulled Sehun away from you. “That’s enough Sehun.” He glared at him.        “Look,” you turned to Sehun. “I know that every one of you is possessive when it comes to the attention of your master. Lay already told me. You don’t really like me… it’s just that… it’s in your nature to like me.”“Well, I’m not like the others… when I like someone… I’ll do everything for her to like me back and when she does… I want her to be mine… I don’t share.” Sehun stares at you.You rolled your eyes.“I know you want me too, princess. Don't deny it. I can see it when I look at you.” He smirks. "You won't be able to resist me." He freaking winks at you and gets a little closer to you. He even dare to bite his lips while staring at you. And at that moment, you just wish you could punch him, why is he doing those things, just why?“Please.” You looked away.“You don’t have to hide it, you know.” Sehun smiled. “My last master falls in love with me.”“And you expect me to fall in love with you too?” you scoffed. "You wish." “Well, I'm handsome right? that can happen again, it's just a matter of time and you'll be mine, princess.”Annoyed that Sehun might be right about that last part, you decided to ignore him “Okay that’s it! I’m going to sleep now.” You stood up and walk towards the others who are in deep sleep.“Good night, my princess.” You heard Sehun before you lie on the ground beside Baekhyun.You sigh. “Good night, Sehun.” You smiled at him before closing your eyes.It wasn’t that long when you finally fall into a peaceful slumber.   Your eyes flew open in an instant. You woke up by the loud sound that startled you. It was the thunder. You shifted your gaze to your surroundings. Everyone was still asleep. You stood up and walked through the forest. You stared at the mysterious tree that immediately caught your eyes. The tree was enormous unlike the other trees. But what made you curious the most was the mark that curve in its massive trunk. You traced your hands against the mark, carefully examining it.“You found it,” you heard Baekhyun’s voice, you quickly turned around to face him. “The next immortal’s home.” Baekhyun grinned at you.“What do you mean?”“No one can summon him right now.” Baekhyun took a step towards you. “We need to find Luhan first – now come on, they’re waiting.”You sighed. Everything that Baekhyun told you doesn’t make any sense so you just let him drag you to the others, leaving the tree with its mysterious mark.  When you and Baekhyun returned to the others, the first thing you saw was a frowning Suho, shooting glares at Baekhyun who’s holding your hand.You rolled your eyes and immediately drop Baekhyun’s hand. Suho’s frowning face replaced with a wide grin.Everyone was already waiting for you.“Ready to go, princess?” Sehun said.“Of course… where are we going, though?” you smiled too obviously and Sehun noticed it. You tried to ignore his breathtaking stares but your heart betrayed you. Something about Sehun makes your heart beats fast. Oh god, why is Sehun doing this weird things in your heart, you regretted not punching him last night.Sehun noticed your flushed cheeks and he lean closer to you, whispering. “Princess, I know you love me, but you're too obvious and I love you too but please forget what I said last night. Just stay away from me. It's best that way.” his face was serious and a bit intense as he step back far away from you. “Actually, I think you all should stay here while I get Luhan.” Sehun said to the other immortals. You wanted to argue but Sehun walks so fast that he immediately disappears from your sight. You can’t help but think about what he said. How could you not love him? You were so confused at his sudden coldness towards you. Didn’t he just confess to you last night? And now he’s telling you to stay away. Sehun is really weird. You didn’t even know why you felt angry and a little bit heartbroken towards him. Why is he playing with your feelings? Tired from thinking so much, you groan and sits on the huge rock. You and the other immortals waited quietly for Sehun. It wasn’t quiet though because you can still hear the loud thunder since earlier.“I don’t get it. There’s thunder and lightning but why doesn’t it rain?” you asked.Everyone looked at you.“Well… Sehun is finally awake so Chen could’ve sense that we’re coming for him,” says Chanyeol. “Chen?”“We can’t tell you anything about him because he’ll know if we give you a clue to his riddle,” Baekhyun grimaced.“Chen knows everything. In fact, he can see us right now,” says Suho who took a glance at Lay. He smiled at the warlock who seemed oblivious. Suho was thinking really hard when and where did he met the warlock before because he was certain that Lay really looks familiar to him. He just couldn’t figure it out.You study the way Suho looks at Lay. You caught Suho smiling at Lay and you wondered why.An hour passed before you saw Sehun again. He was smiling at the immortal who was floating in a sitting position beside him. “It took me a while to catch him.” Sehun told the others. “Luhan threw me everywhere but I caught him eventually.” Sehun pulled the soaring immortal into the ground.“What can I say? Wind is fast.” says the gorgeous immortal in front of you. “Well, well, well… it looks like we have a lovely master right here huh Sehun?” Luhan looked at Sehun then turned to you. “I hope you answer the riddle right because I really want to be yours,” he smiled at you and all of a sudden you forgot everything about Sehun. Luhan lifted your chin so he could take a good look on you, his other hand move to your shoulder.“No touching.” Sehun warned Luhan with jealous eyes.The immortal quickly drop his hands to his side. He took a step back.You manage to take a deep breath, seriously, if all immortals look this good, how will you even survive? Luhan is just so handsome, you felt a bit envy and ashamed at the same time because he's even more beautiful than you. How can a man be more beautiful than a woman? And you realized, he's an immortal. Oh how you wish you could be immortal too if it means having flawless skin and not getting wrinkles. “I’m sorry; it’s just that I’ve been asleep for so many years. I’m just so overwhelmed to finally see a beautiful girl again,” Luhan smiled at you again and you suddenly feel like dying. “Well, once you answered my riddle, I could touch you then.” you were about to say something but Sehun break it off.  “Not if I’m around.” Sehun growls.   A/N: hunhan <3
