Baekhyun was currently eating a pack of gummy bears that Chanyeol brought him and comfortably reading a book in the library for their homework. Unlike many students, Baekhyun doesn't use laptops and gadgets to browse the internet for him to study because he can't afford one of those.
He barely have money for his tuition fees... He doesn't have personal gadget except for his old ancient keypad phone that doesn't even have internet connection that was given by his mother when he was 15. Just for important purposes such as emergencies.
Baekhyun slowly flipped over through the olden pages of a certain biology book patiently as he went on, not bothering to look at the time.
💕C H A N Y E O L ' S P O V💕
Practice hours was long finished but Baekhyun hasn't came at the gym yet. I said earlier that he'll meet me here in the basketball court so that I can drive him home. Now where is he?
My friends had already changed into clean tops. And I'm the only one left who's in sweaty jerseys. He got my towel and a spare shirt.
"Are you not going home yet? We're heading off now." Kris asked grabbing his own sports bag.
"Nah. I'm waiting for someone." I answered while trying to untie my shoelaces, still holding on my phone.
"Jieun? But I just saw her awhile back I think she left the school grounds already." Suho remarked.
"I'm waiting for Baekhyun," I said as I tapped my rubber shoes on the shiny floor, seriously I'm getting worried.
They understand me tho, they know how much I care for my bestfriend although I don't really introduced him to the group yet. They waved and left me all alone without uttering another word after bidding goodbye.
I sat on one of the long metallic benches, scrambling and typing at my phone. Texting someone who doesn't reply to my messages and calling someone who doesn't pick up. Aish,
"Mrs.Byun? Does Baekhyun already got home?" I asked concealing my worried voice. Well, it's better that he left me here alone waiting for nothing than knowing that he's not home yet.
I had more than twenty messages sent to him but he hasn't replied yet on any of them. When did I become so patient? Where did he go? Did he went home without me? No that's impossible.
Tsk. Baekhyun...
"He hasn't came home yet since this morning Yeol, why? He's not with you?" Chanyeol's spine shivered as he gritted his jaw. Where the fuck did he go then?!
"Oh, if that's the case. I'm sure he's at his other friends then Mrs.Byun, don't worry." Chanyeol stated gripping his phone tightly. Fuck, he doesn't have other friends. Chanyeol felt his blood boil in utter frustration.
"Okay, thanks for worrying Chanyeol, you're really a good bestfriend to my Baekkie. Please do tell him that he must get home early." Ofcourse I'm a good bestfriend.
"I will Mrs.Byun." I said before turning down the call. A gulp was caught in my throat.
As minutes by minutes passed by I was getting and getting more worried. Maybe he got bullied?-or he got injured? K-Kidnapped?
Scary thoughts clouded my mind as my palms began to sweat. I started to cold sweat again.
37 missed calls.
43 Text messages sent.
And he didn't picked up yet. Wtf, it was pass school hours now. The defeating silence isn't helping at all.
And suddenly my phone beeped, signalling that the great Baekhyun finally picked up the call.
💕B A E K H Y U N ' S P O V💕
"Oh my I'm sorry I didn't—WHERE ARE YOU BYUN BAEKHYUN?!" Oh I'm dead. I can hear the loud and deep baritone voice from Chanyeol at the other side of the line. His worried voice is one thing- but calling me by my full name is a different story. God, sorry.
"I'm on my way now. Please don't be angry...i'm almost there." And then I ended the call so that I can quickly dash the halls.
I ran through the empty halls and found a little bit creepy because it was silent. I reached the school grounds and dashed through the doors that was directed to the gym.
How come did I not noticed the time?! Gosh, I'm really dead...
I opened the front door of the gym and there I saw Chanyeol standing while holding his phone and his nike duffle bag and directly glaring at me. Annoyment and frustration was plastered on his face and so I smiled apologetically while waving at him.
He started to walk getting closer to me, more like stomping his feet like a kid throwing a tantrum. He brushed me off and walked passed me continuously walking as if I wasn't there.
Aish, if only I hadn't turned off my phone or better to check the time I wouldn't have a bestfriend who hated me right now.

"Hey Yeollie!" Baekhyun shouted but Chanyeol didn't turned his back. He continued walking through the darkening halls, the sun is almost out of sight.
Baekhyun drew his steps and followed Chanyeol instead.
"Chanyeollie? Don't be angry anymore. I was just at the library! I didn't noticed the time! I swear!" Baekhyun yelled and tapped Chanyeol's back but that doesn't fixed it.
"Chanyeol....Listeeeeeeen....I'm sooorry!" Baekhyun whined.
He tried to block Chanyeol's pathway but Chanyeol silently dodged his way forward with heavy footsteps. He had been so worried anyway.
Chanyeol was silent all along. Soon, they're at the parking lot. Chanyeol didn't have to think twice at yelling Baekhyun when the latter started to walk towards the school gate all by himself.
"BAEKHYUN! WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?!" Chanyeol yelled but Baekhyun didn't budged.
Chanyeol felt guilty once he witnessed the drooped shoulders and bowed head from Baekhyun. Chanyeol knew that Baekhyun was sensitive to these kinds of situation and he regretted acting immature infront of him.
Chanyeol ran towards the sad frame of a body beside the football court and carry it bridal style. He witnessed the face of the kicked puppy and it made him felt worse.
Chanyeol got back to his car and put Baekhyun on the front sit before getting in. The midget just fiddled with his fingers feeling the cool air coming from the air conditioner installed on Chanyeol's expensive car.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to ignore you like that earlier. It's just that I'm so worried as hell. You didn't picked up on my calls and texts. I thought something bad happened. Tell me, where did you go?" Chanyeol spilled out.
"G-Gone reading some books related to our assignment. I—I don't have anything to search for it at home and then I also forgot the time. I also turned off my phone because it drains battery fast and forgot to turn it on." Baekhyun answered while his head laid low while fiddling with his hands.
"Please don't hate me anymore." Baekhyun added making Chanyeol gulp in guilt.
"I don't hate you! I will never hate you. Bestfriends don't hate remember? I told you that I'll buy you a laptop or you can borrow my laptop anytime Baek, but you always refuse. You're so stubborn." Chanyeol sighed.
Baekhyun smiled widely after hearing that, you forgive me? He thought.
"Best friends doesn't worry each other. I almost died from heart attack Baek. I thought something happened to you! I even called your mom! Anyways, do you still got bullied when I'm out?" Chanyeol mumbled while pointing accusingly at the latter.
"Nope. They don't as long as you're around." Baekhyun smiled sheepishly. Baekhyun was often got bullied if Chanyeol is not around. Being the best target like a weakling like me is indeed a difficult thing at high school life.
"Thanks for worrying!" Baekhyun jumped at the latter hugging him tightly but retreated immediately when he felt the cold sweat from the taller's body.
"Eww! You're sweaty!You smell like Taehyung's socks! Change your clothes now!" Baekhyun ordered and looked for a dry shirt from Chanyeol's bag. The latter only stared at his bestfriend, thinking how lucky he is that he have someone like Baekhyun. He can't still accept that he could make him worry so much just like that.
Baekhyun fetched his baby powder in his bag and pour a good amount of it, applying it on Chanyeol's back, neck and armpits.
"So that you won't get sick from the dried sweat. Now, put on this shirt." He mumbled as he busily spread the shirt and led it to Chanyeol.
Chanyeol obliged nonetheless and changed his jersey into a dry one. Soon after, Chanyeol was driving the latter home. Baekhyun fished something inside his bag and ordered Chanyeol to open his mouth.
The latter was quick to respond and opened his mouth. He then found a gummy bear placed in between his lips. He chewed it then a smile crawled in his. Sweet strawberry, reminds him of someone who's sitting beside him.
Baekhyun.
The latter fed Chanyeol the remaining gummy bears while he was focused on driving. Baekhyun knows that Chanyeol don't have breaktimes during practice so he assumed that his bestfriend must be hungry, which is true.
