Abyss (1/1)

BAEKHYUN I didn't wait to see what Luna's reaction would be. I'm not even sure I want to know and see. My heart cannot take anymore wrenching, but if it's her, as long as I can take it, I'll receive every punch. This is all my doing anyway.I sound like a wuss right now for repeating that for the nth time. I still haven't forgiven myself for that and I can't believe that I was actually so close to the real thing, but I mess it up like I always do.Anyhow, I promised Kai I would help out with the yearbook committee so I dashed out of Lit class and headed for the third floor. I took the stairs to be safe. I don't want to be stuck in an elevator with Luna even if it's just for two floors. Knowing the sluggish speed of the jurassic elevator of the school, I know I'll get to my destination faster.More reasons why I'm a wuss. Here I am desperately wanting Luna to be mine yet I chicken out and run away from her as much as possible. I badly need a decent pep talk.I arrived at the yearbook committee's hideout on the third floor. I must have sped way too fast. No one was there. I entered anyway and scanned the room. I am already a senior and I haven't been to this part of the school. Geez!"Baekhyun-sshi!"I jumped a bit at the sound of the small voice. I turned around, relieved that it was someone familiar. "Victoria-sshi. What are you doing here?""I should be asking you that," she said as she put her back pack on a seat which I think is her regular one here. "I'm part of the committee."I nodded and smiled softly. "Kai invited me here. Said you guys needed extra hands.""Ah yes. That's so nice of you to accept his offer. He's right about that. Prom is coming soon and things are gonna get crazy for sure.""Prom? Why are you guys stressing for prom? You're gonna nothing but documentation stuff there."Victoria sighed then slowly shook her head. "Just last week, we took the prom out of the student council's hands."That's weird. The student council always organizes these parties. Nothing of the sort has happened ever since ---Shit! I just remembered that Chanyeol and Luna are both in student council."Chanyeol just gave the prom to the yearbook committee?""No, Luna did."What?"Why would she do that?"Victoria pulled out the chair beside her desk and gestured for me to sit. I sat down, curious for more details."I thought you guys used to be close. You don't know? Her incident with her family?""Oh. That incident."Oh.. I thought it was another incident."Chanyeol actually still wanted to be in charge but I insisted. I don't want Luna to be bothered with any more things that she shouldn't be bothered with."Ouch! Why did that strike me so hard?Victoria added more. "He's actually coming here. He still feels like it's his responsibility though we've assured him that it'll be our pleasure to organize the prom this year.""Okay," I started to stand up and pick up my bag. "That's it. I'm out. I'll just call Kai later and explain.""Ha! I knew it!""Huh? Knew what?""You hate him. Oh my goodness! You really are in love with my best friend, Looney.""Victoria, please.""Baekhyun! Take a seat. Listen to me."Like a gentleman that I am now, I did as she ordered."Do you hate me too? I can take it.""No no no...it's not that at all, Baekkie. I need to tell you something important. Something that will give you hope.""Hope?""Yeah. I mean, okay fine. Luna's with Chanyeol now, but since then she hasn't been herself.""You mean she's gotten crazy?""Not exactly. She doesn't act like herself when she's with Chanyeol. I rarely see her face contorted these days. I missed it when she used to be snarky, sarcastic, and funny. Look at her now. She's like a female version of the dude. She's become prim, robotic, I hate it."Chanyeol is a good guy but I honestly think he's right for her. Baekhyun, it's you. It's just you for her. During your time as friends, when she still didn't tell us about your umm..thing. Well, she was adventurous, all smiles, grouchy sometimes, cynical -- that's the Luna I know. That there is my best friend.""Thanks for those encouraging words, Victoria.""You want to get her back right?""Yes. More than anything!""We have a girl's night in tonight. The three of us. Here's what you're going to do..."  --------------short update because I'm tired and I don't want to end this fic yet so I'm making more chapters as possible :D
