My Weird Bestfriend (1/2)

The rest days of the past week went well for Chanyeol and you except for the fact that Kai still checked you out after that mind blowing incident between you, him and Chanyeol in the cafeteria a few days ago. The tension between them increased as well, making you realize how much a mistake your decision is in letting Chanyeol to take over for the whole get-rid-of-Kai plan. Chanyeol, however, doesn't want you to mind it anymore because he, as well, admits that "Besides, he's already getting in my nerves, too." so you let him do what he wants except of course when he loses his temper that he wants to stab Kai by your fork because of his annoying high pride infront of you. Well, that part is yours to mind, personally.

Everyday after that, once you got out of school, Kai is already waiting for you by the front gate. Fortunately for you, Chanyeol's 'wise' plan has already started too, making you feel less nervous by two percent of a hundred.

"Ready?" Chanyeol asks, holding you by your shoulders. "Let him to just talk to you, is that okay?" You nod three times, staring at him with puppy, scared eyes. "but always have in mind what I told you, alright? Don't let him take you anywhere. Stay where we can see you. Stay right there, only. Just then when you feel that something is wrong-"

"But everything is wrong already!" You insist, unconsciously breathing out the words two inches away from his face. He shifts awkwardly and somehow you could feel that he is not comfortable about how close you are from each other. Weirdness is about Chanyeol. Really.

The three of you are hiding behind the brick wall infront of the pavement towards the front gate, spying over at Kai who is leaning against the hard wall beside the gate with his earphones on. His eyes are moving and searching around the place as if he really is waiting for you to arrive. And that's the problem. You know how stupid your and Chanyeol's acts are but you really just want to get rid of Kai. You don't want him around. It's like when he's approaching you and such, your day is completely in bad luck. So nevertheless, you want to atleast lessen the time of him checking you with the help of Chanyeol and SeKyo.

Chanyeol blinks four times awkwardly, chuckling. "W-well, y-yeah, that's right. But what I mean is if anything turns out.. more than wrong," He sighs, now standing straight, making you look like the ring finger and him as the middle finger, but still keeps his gaze locked into yours. His eyes are burning to your soul and you can't help but gulp weirdly from the fluttering. "Just do what I told you, okay? And if you can escape from him all by yourself, that's better.. but if not, signal us then I'll let SeKyo-noona to come over, alright? She'll take care of Kai afterwards.. then we're off. I think that's the best we can do to not to let him have you.. alone. The main objective of this thing."

You nod in response. You turn to look at SeKyo whose eyes are as concerned as a true unnie. She nods reassuringly at you as if telling you that everything will be alright. You don't know how she have that kind of relationship with Kai-- flirting. She's just too kind, true and all. Well, at first, you thought she was that bitchy like those girl bullies in school because of her looks, but after some time talking to her and having lunch with her, you figured out that she really is not. She's protective and lovely towards you and Chanyeol, just like a true big sister do. Summing up, you like her so much.

You take a deep breath, forcing a smile before engaging yourself to the battlefield. SeKyo reaches out to you and hugs you tightly but quickly. You smile at her warm embrace.

Why does this have to be like this? It's not that you're not going to be back alive after trying a thing to Kai, right? But sometimes, even you are a strong girl outside, you are weak in some random reasons like having little talks to Kai specifically because you are sure that your temper is in its shortest when you're infront of him. And when you lose your temper, you can't stop yourself from blurting and speaking out words that you are not used to say even without thinking and soon after that, you'll end up crying.

You know you're a little sensitive, especially because you are raised to be that. The people you used to be around with really care about you that they never thought or tried disrespecting you as a person, as a girl, not like what Kai does to you.

"I'm here, little pumpkin. I will never let you down. Trust pumpkin-unnie, alright?" She smiles brightly, showing her bright smile too.

How you wish to have her as your biological big sister, too. Being the only daughter is hard and lonely, but thanks to some of the people sticking with you that let you feel that you belong to a big family.

You nod at her. You look up at Chanyeol again who shows you an encouraging smile. You smile back at him, earning a two-thumbs up from him. If Chanyeol.. if Chanyeol.. never gotten involved to this, you sigh. This is for Chanyeol, too. So you decided to do it. That bastard talked trash about Chanyeol so you don't have an excuse to just let him slip away, easily.

The first day of Chanyeol's to-do plan. Oh, just.. so great.

You proceed walking out from your shield, acting normally as you make your way to the gate. You don't look at Kai though, that would just make everything obvious. Maybe you can just ignore him so that you can pass the gate without him noticing you but-

Oh see, he waves.

"What took you so long?" He asks cooly as quickly as you make a halt infront of him.

You fakely smile, trying to hide how much you want to punch him in the face. Acting infront of anyone except partially of Chanyeol is an easy thing for you. You took drama class in middle school after all.

"Something came up. Club thing." You lie. "You're supposed to be at home now, aren't you? It's already twenty minutes after the dismissal."

He smiles, walking towards you and trying to grab you by your waist but you shift your heels just before he could. "Well, let's say, I want to take you out for a while now. It's saturday tomorrow anyway. I want to hang out with.." He pauses, shaking his head. Probably he'll again say 'my soon-to-be-princess but maybe he somehow considered your words from last time, so he brushes it off. "you."

Chanyeol sees that Kai-trying-to-grab-you-by-your-waist and soon, his eyebrows are now sharply furrowing. That Kai's act is a big no no for him.

You pervert jerk, he mentally growls, no one ever touches her especially you Kim Jongin! She's mine! Forever mine! And I won't give her to you, ever!

Without even your signal, Chanyeol gestures SeKyo to come out. SeKyo, on the other hand, gets confused about Chanyeol's sudden decision but did what she was told nevertheless. She starts caring about you and Chanyeol already and so she will protect you and him whenever you need her. She straightens her school jacket and skirt before going out, letting her long curly burgundy hair down her waist. It's show time.

When SeKyo is now on her way, Chanyeol yurns to stare at her in awe while she walks. Who doesn't? She's gorgeous! Kai shifts his eyes at her, too, expectedly.

Gotcha, Kai! I know you just can't resist me, ever since we're still kids. I know you like me. I will help you admit that to yourself.. because I like you and I love you even before but you just see me as one of your sluts. Lessons are meant for you, I guess. She mentally says, half smirking.

You turn around to where Kai is staring at. Just before you could say something, you see SeKyo approaching you and Kai. You didn't signal them yet, but how come she's out already. Anyway, you almost drop your jaw down the pavement as you stare at her stunning glow as the wind goes on with her skirt and hair. She's freaking gorgeous!

"Looks like something.." Kai mutters, smirking and staring at SeKyo in amusement. You somehow feel left out but then brush the idea as quickly as possible. That's what you want anyway. And always will be. "Someone is.. going wild here." He continues, exhaling deeply.

SeKyo shows you a smile and winks just by the time she is finally beside Kai. Kai then sighs in satisfaction. You could feel the triumph now, and so did SeKyo.

Everything is going on the plan.

SeKyo stands prettily beside him, all smile towards you. Kai's arm is around her waist, already. Fucking asshole. Damn pervert. Total jerk. You want to punch him, really really want. Can someone stop you? Can anyone?

Just before you could clench your fist, he speaks, "So.. we can hang out together until tonight, I guess. That would be more.. exciting." He tries to pull you beside him yet again, too, so you and SeKyo are on both sides of him like those scenes in a dirty bar.

You are about to decline from his offer when you suddenly hear running footsteps coming towards you and a deep voice calling out your name in panic.

You turn around and see Chanyeol with a stressed look on his face, panting and almost tripping off his shoes.

"We.." He pants, laying his hands in your shoulders. SeKyo and Kai look at him in confusion. "We.. we need to go home.. now! My mom.. my mom! It's an e-emergency. I need.." He pants again, "I need you.. there." Just before you could ask him to stay calm,  he quickly grabs your hand, "Let's go!" And then, he pulls you yet again for the nth time in your entire life from where SeKyo and Kai are standing at.

Back to Chanyeol.

Back to how he grabbed you tightly by your hand.

Back to the fact that you are running with him, hand-in-hand.

Back to the way your footsteps echo to the pavement.

Back to the two of you, alone.Back to the feeling of his hand in yours.

Back to your stupid fantasy.

Back to how you two resemble Romeo and Juliet.

And most importantly, back to the reason of his sudden outburst.

"What's wrong? What happened?" You ask worriedly, squeezing his hand to face you as you let him drag you in a rush to.. where he wants to lead you. Probably to the bus stop, towards their house now. Though it's only a block away from yours, maybe you can accompany him to his mom just as what he said.

He didn't answer. Your way there is in complete silence. The sky is aready turning into hues of pink, orange and blue. The wind blows coldly and roughly, making your hair and skirt move with it. But Chanyeol didn't stop, still leading you hand-in-hand.

"Hey, what's wrong?" You ask again for the fifth time this time. He lets go of your hand and sits carelessly to the bench under the waiting shed. Standing, you look at him curiously and worriedly. His face is emotionless or it is just him making you see nothing about his feeling, just like always. "Ya! Talk to me! You know, me getting nervous with your acts all of a sudden is not reasonable, Chan! Don't be like that!"

There is silence, deafening silence.
