Chapter 12 (1/1)

(Sehun POV)

The day was going by slowly and not much had happened after the whole Suho and Minho throwing that bucket at Jongdae. But Baekhyun was acting strange as well. But when I asked him he just said it was nerves from that morning since they did threaten him. Jongin doesn't think we should put our guards down yet with Baekhyun, but I don't know. It's just a difficult situation. “Sehun!” Tao yelled into my face as we were sitting in the cafeteria eating. I just looked at him with a blank expression while he rolled his eyes. “Were you even listening?” He asked as I shrugged in response. I wasn’t very interested in this month's gossip about idols. Chanyeol and Jongin were sitting with us as well and they gave me worried looks. “I was thinking about things. Sorry I don't find whatever you're blabbing about interesting.” I stated with a sigh. Tao just shrugged and turned to Chanyeol who was okay with listening to the mean looking, yet sweet Chinese boy.“Look Baekhyun’s here!” A girl squealed as Baekhyun stepped into the cafeteria and looked around. Jongin and Chanyeol turned slightly to see the newcomer but was met with Baekhyun being pushed up against the wall by Jonghyun. “Fuck…” Jongin said as he was about to stand up. Tao grabbed Jongin’s arm and made him sit back down. “What?” Asked Jongin while Tao pointed to the entrance of the cafeteria. There stood Suho and Minho who were just watching, but Suho looked stunned, almost regretful. “So we're supposed to let it happen?” Chanyeol asked while Tao shook his head.“Look behind those two.” Tao stated as we all looked and spotted Yifan, Yixing, and Minseok behind them.“Oh…” I said softly while we watched those three walk through Minho and Suho and over to Jonghyun who was whispering something to Baekhyun aggressively. Yifan ripped Jonghyun off of Baekhyun and the small Korean fell while Yifan held Jonghyun up by the collar.“Who the fuck do you think you are?” Yifan screamed in Jonghyun’s face while the other just shrugged and refused to speak. The silence pissed off Yifan more causing him to punch the guy in the face, letting him fall to the ground afterwards. Baekhyun was staring up at Yifan when Minho and Suho came forward to push Yifan away to get to Jonghyun. That pissed off Minseok and Yixing.Minseok grabbed Suho and smashed him against the wall while Yixing punched Minho right away causing the taller male to fall down next to Jonghyun. Minseok has his hand wrapped around Suho’s neck almost choking him. “Minseok- pleas-e stop.” Suho gasped as he stared the older boy in the eyes. Minseok glared daggers at the boy. “No. You fucked with the wrong people.” Minseok growled as he was about to punch Suho, Baekhyun got up to push Minseok away before his fist made contact. “Baekhyun!” Minseok said when he looked up. Baekhyun was wheezing as he fell back down. Suho’s eyes went wide and fell to ground with Baekhyun holding the boy in his arms. I stared at Jongin and Chanyeol, we all mimicked each other’s facial expressions. “Baek!” Chanyeol yelled as we all ran to his shaking body. I knelt down to see his face. Baekhyun was shaking, he had broken out in a cold sweat as he kept his eyes shut tightly. “What happened to him?” Yixing asked as he stared at the scene. Yifan and Minseok just shrugged, while Minho and Jonghyun left the cafeteria. I sighed and tried to pick up Baekhyun, but Suho slapped away my hands.“Don’t touch him.” Suho said as he tried to get Baekhyun to open his eyes. I squinted my eyes at him.“No, fuck off Joonmyun. Leave him alone, you’re the reason he even is having this panic attack.” I spat at him, Suho glared back at me. “Fuck you, Oh Sehun. You never deserved to even be in a fake relationship with Baekhyun. You’re a loser.” Suho said as he tried to take Baekhyun away from Chanyeol and Jongin who were rubbing circles on Baekhyun’s back and arm soothingly. “Who said it was completely fake? Maybe one of us actually did fall for the other. Maybe one of us actually gives a shit about them. Am I not allowed to even care?” I asked. Suho looked up shocked, that gave Chanyeol the ability to grab Baekhyun and pick him up.“Let’s go to the nurse guys.” Chanyeol stated, I sighed as we were about to walk out. Baekhyun mumbled something catching Chanyeol’s attention. “What?”“I want Sehun to bring me.” Baekhyun whispered as Chanyeol shrugged and handed him to me and I carried Baekhyun to the nurse alone. After a half an hour Baekhyun had calmed down and was sitting on the bed in the infirmary. I stared down at him, I hoped my face wouldn’t show how I felt. “Thank you.” Baekhyun said as he looked at me with an unreadable expression. I just nodded.“It’s fine. Nothing too impressive.” I stated while he laughed.“Did you mean what you said?” He asked, I just looked at him. “I mean like, did you mean that you actually fell for me while we were fake dating?” Baekhyun asked. I sighed.“Yes, I did. It was extremely embarrassing. Especially when I knew you were in love with Chanyeol.” I said nonchalantly. Baekhyun had a sad smile. “What if I told you that I no longer like Chanyeol that way?” Baekhyun asked. I looked at him with confusion. “I finally gave up, why chase him when his endgame in Jongdae? Plus, I think I’ve realised who my endgame is.” Baekhyun said. I just tilted my head.“Who?” I asked making him giggle. “I believe there is a reason why we were put together. I believe you are meant to be mine, and I’m meant to be yours.” Baekhyun said matter of factly. I just gaped at him.“Are you serious?” I asked as he just looked away slightly embarrassed. “Well… I. No I'm not serious I'm just kidding.” Baekhyun laughed hesitantly as he looked disappointed. I couldn't really understand what was happening.“Oh, that's funny.” I laughed awkwardly as I got up from the chair I was sitting in. Baekhyun watched me walk out of the room. -no one’s POV-Baekhyun just sighed as he watched Sehun go, again. He just shook his head as he started to remember what Jonghyun threatened him. “You better do what we want or I'm going to hurt everyone you love. You worthless piece of shit.” The petite boy just huffed out an annoyed grunt as he got up. “Well I tried being the nice guy.” Baekhyun whispered to himself. “I guess I just got to do what I set myself up for. No more running.” Baekhyun grabbed his backpack and walked out of the room without telling the nurse. He walked through the hallways, no emotion shown on his face as he walked passed multiple students who gave him worried looks. “Baekhyun?” Yifan asked as he stepped out of the locker room staircase. “Baekhyun, are you okay?” Yifan asked as he tried to get the small boy’s attention. Baekhyun glanced at him as he walked by. Yifan tsked as he kept up with Baekhyun’s rushed pace.“What is it Kris?” Baekhyun asked irritated that the Chinese senior was bothering him. Yifan was shocked by the name. “You haven't called me Kris since you started to hang out with us. Are you okay?” Yifan asked. Baekhyun wanted him to answer that question himself, tell him, no you’re not okay. And take him away from this spiraling whirlpool that he's being sucked down. He just wished it was Sehun and not Yifan. But anyone will do now.“It's nothing Kris. I just want to be alone. Thank you for the concern though. It means a lot…” Baekhyun whispered as Yifan watched him walk off. Just then Luhan came up from behind Yifan and scared him.“Ah fuck you Luhan!” Yifan laughed as he held his chest. Luhan noticed Baekhyun walking away like the living dead. “He's acting weird, almost like he's reverting back to the way he was before. Which means Minho and Suho are getting what they want.” Yifan stated as Luhan nodded.“We need to figure out how to keep Baekhyun alongside us. For some reason they want him back, even though they treat him like shit.” Luhan sighed. “It's because Baekhyun was the meanest of all of us. He didn't care about what people said or how he spoke to others. He only cared about what we thought about him. Suho was friends with him, before most of us. They didn't get really close until a couple years ago, but what Suho thinks of him is important to him.” Kyungsoo stated. Luhan and Yifan turned around shocked at the voice speaking to them.“Wait, you want to talk to us?” Luhan said, completely lost. Kyungsoo shrugged.“I'll get over it. We did get along pretty well Luhan, but like I don't know if I can be around Jongin too much. But Baekhyun is my best friend. And watching Suho let those assholes hurt him makes me want to snap his neck. So I'll help you guys.” Kyungsoo sighed. Luhan smiled widely as he hugged Kyungsoo tightly. “I'm so confused…” Yifan stated as he watched the scene in front of him. “I thought you only faked being friends with Kyungsoo?” Luhan shrugged.“When I said that I was defensive and didn't really mean it. Like it was partly true but like at the same time I was lying.” Luhan stated as he held Kyungsoo close to him. Kyungsoo laughed.“And to be honest I felt like Jongin liked you so I used you to find out things.” Kyungsoo said making Luhan laugh. “So we're even. But you two look better together than we did so it's fine.” Luhan giggled at that. “Great to see you're playing nice too, Kyungsoo.” Minho tsked as he walked up to them. “Ew it stinks now.” Kyungsoo stated as he stared down the taller male. “Remember who you're fucking with now, Choi Minho. I don't play nice.” Kyungsoo glared at the boy. Yifan pushed Luhan to stand behind him. Kyungsoo gritted his teeth as Minho laughed.“Awe little Do Kyungsoo thinks he can threaten and scare me. Oh that's funny. It's like if Baekhyun wanted to scare a bear. It's never going to happen. Kyungsoo you look like an owl who's on heroin.” Minho stated as he laughed walking away. Kyungsoo held back his anger. “I'm going to go. But text me what you need help with. I'm willing to murder them.” Kyungsoo said as he walked away. Luhan and Yifan nodded as he walked away.Sehun walked into his classroom and spotted Jongin by their desk. He walked over and stared at him hesitantly. “What?” Jongin asked as he took out his headphones. Sehun sighed as he sat in his chair.“I think Baekhyun confessed to me, but like I guess I'm too stupid to realize it until now. And he basically played it off as a joke but it wasn't. I think I hurt him.” Sehun whispered in a rush as he refused to look at Jongin. “So he confessed to you. You basically didn't realize it and rejected him. He played it off as a joke. And now you just figured it out.” Jongin said slowly. Sehun nodded. Jongin smacked Sehun’s head. “Dumbass! Go find him!” He screamed at Sehun who just stared at him wide eyed and then got up and ran out the room. “Why am I friends with idiots.” Jongin sighed.“Because your an idiot too.” Tao stated as he leaned over the desk to be up close to Jongin. The Korean boy jumped.“What the fuck?” Jongin wheezed as he stared at Tao.“I need your help.” Tao stated as Jongin nodded dumbly.
