Yours Truly (1/2)

Jinni retreats herself from Baekhyun's hold. Immediately, Baekhyun absorbs the feeling of the contact being lost between them. As soon as the feeling hits, he scolds himself for not getting a hold of his emotions.  "Good Morning Baekhyun." Jinni beamed.  "Good Morning to you both." Suho replied, having no reaction to seeing their affectionate contact.  "What are you doing here so early?" This time his question is directed to Baekhyun.

“Came to find you.” Baekhyun lied.

“You’re in luck.” Suho heartly chuckled.

Silence projected around them. It was enough to make Jinni feel uneasy. The last thing she wanted was for Baekhyun to receive the letter in front of her.

Baekhyun’s eyes flickered over to Jinni’s hands behind her. The letter was merely in his sight.

“I’m going to use the restroom. I’ll see you guys later.” Jinni warmly smiled. She took light steps away from the two without turning to look back. Baekhyun kept his eyes fixed at her retreating figure. He had already missed her presence.

“Dude, are you okay?” Suho interrupted.

“I’m fine.” He simply replied.

“You know what’s worrying me?” Suho thinned his eyes at his best friend.

Baekhyun gulped. He recognized the facial expression Suho was making. He was attempting to read his mind.

“I can’t read you right now.”

With that, Baekhyun softly breathed out a sigh of relief.

And he took notice of that. His thoughts were messed up at the moment. He, himself, was lost in where his mind really took path.

Suho softly punched his knuckles against his forehead.

“With you controlling my brain who knows what you could be erasing!” He teased.

And that’s when it had made sense to Baekhyun.

For a second he believed that Jinni was actually getting to him. But he realized that after all, he was in Suho’s body so there were no doubts that there were left over of Suho’s thoughts and feelings. To put it simply, he had confused his feelings with Suho’s.

Baekhyun smiled in satisfaction.  He patted his best friend’s shoulder.

“Not to worry. What’s your’s is your’s.” He reassured, keeping in mind of the feelings that belonged to Suho.

As Jinni found herself a significant distance from the two, she breathed out a heavy sigh that was kept buried under her chest. The feeling of being hugged by Suho’s strong arms and how her body perfectly pieced with his really helped her heart pound through her ribcage.

Her subconscious suddenly searched for that feeling; the feeling of being in those arms.

Jinni shook her head frantically bringing her hand to feel her forehead.

“What am I thinking?”

She felt a different texture touching her forehead and she found that she was still holding her letter to Baekhyun.

“Baekhyun.” She stated, as if she was battling with her thoughts.

“Baekhyun.” She recited to herself.

Her phone rung with a text tone and she immediately checked whom it was sent by.

Suho, She read.

“Sorry for earlier. I was serious about missing you. Let’s grab some bubble tea after school.”

There was a pinch of excitement building inside of her. These days she was around Baekhyun. (which she hadn’t complained about.) Though the days had gone by duller without Suho’s aura mixing in the air.  There was something about Suho that released good vibes. It was something Jinni had started to get accustomed to, only now was she shifting with Baekhyun. Now that he finally noticed her she didn’t feel the need to put as big as an effort as she did before. However, her liking for Baekhyun was no less.

“Will Baekhyun accompany us?” She replied.

“Hm, sure.”

“Okay. See you guys!”

The school day had wrapped up to its end. Meaning it was time for the three to spend quality time together.

Baekhyun waited outside the school gates trying to act coolly about his decision of spending time with Jinni.

Even if he tried to convince himself that it was Suho’s thoughts being mixed up with his, he had to admit that he really did enjoy Jinni’s company in those times he was forcibly with her.

“Yo, man. I totally forgot, I have golf practice today. I’ll just meet up with you guys later.” Suho explains.

Strangely, Baekhyun didn’t mind that he’d be alone with Jinni. If it were weeks ago he’d be dreading breathing in the same boundary as her.

“Quick favor, bro?”

Baekhyun nods at his request.

“I left my binder in your locker. And I don’t have time to fetch it. Since school gates close in half an hour could you go get it for me? Just give it to me when I come back after practice.” Suho hurriedly instructs as he backs away towards the bus.

“No problem, bro.” Baekhyun lifts a hand from the inside of his pocket and gestures Suho a thumbs up.

Soon he quickly races into school to the lockers.

“Crap, what was the combo?” He chews on his lower lip in annoyance after attempting to open his locker for the tenth time.

“Okay. Five. Six. What was that last number?!”

“Twenty-Two.”  The familiar voice startled him enough to bang his head against his locker.
