Dark gray clouds and angry thunder was evident in that gloomy afternoon. And not long after, the rain already poured through the earth and embraced the pavements and roofs outside, drenching everything in contact.
I was on my way to the library when I realised that it was raining hard outside that I can barely see the school grounds. It was dark and cold due to the scary clouds that covered the sky and the eerie swishing sound of the wind blades that made me shiver is not helping at all.
I wandered around the long hallway of our building, passing few students until I ended up in the basketball court. There I can see Chanyeol practicing with his fellow players. He was indeed a great basketball player, for the nth time I can't imagine I happened to become his bestfriend. He stunningly steadied his calloused hands and focused his sight on the ring, aimed the ball and in a second the ball beautifully hoops in the ring. I just admire the passion and determination that's adjacent on every moves he does on that court.
I had to admit that he was the most handsome and most talented person I had ever encountered. Well, maybe because he's the only one who can stand my weak nobody status. Being his best friend alone made me gain eyes on me at school but I managed to ignore it. He looks perfect with his new jerseys as well as the others but there's no doubt, he stands out the most. I can clearly see how passionate he is in his field of talent and it makes my heart melt. He's indeed perfect, unlike me.
Yet, I'm still happy because I got a friend like him. He was incomparable, he always take care for me, worry about me and always beside me no matter how tight his schedules are. And so, I promised to do the same thing to him.
I decided to go home by myself today,— big factor was because I don't want to take his only time to rest. I know he's already tired and I don't want to disturb him and make him get tired even more. Bestfriends don't burden each other right?
I exited the building while curling my fingers around the front strap of my backpack and I was met with the utterly forceful and cold wind that almost swayed my entire frame.
I covered my backpack with plastic bag so that it'll not get soaked in rain before sprinting through the raging rain towards the empty bus stop on the other side of the street infront of the campus gate.
I'm waiting for the bus there. My clothes are already drenched in rainwater for almost thirty minutes now but there's no view of busses coming toward my location at all. The sky was already eaten up by the darkness so does my anxiety. I can feel my knees and feet getting numb and my head getting heavy because of the cold rain. I think I'm getting a fever, I surely does. Like what do you expect from a low resistance kid...
Then I suddenly sneezed.
Great Baekhyun, just great.

"The weather is not good. Is there a typhoon or something?" Xiumin asked when he heard booming sounds of rain up the corridor while dragging his duffle bag, wiping the sweat that's dripping on his temples.
"I guess so." Kris replied.
"Hey, are you okay?" He asked the giant who was currently checking his phone, for almost a million times now since the practice was done.
"He didn't texted me this afternoon. And I don't know if he's already gone home." The latter muttered still scrambling with his phone trying to call a certain someone. And yeah, that someone forgot to tell him that he'll be heading home by himself.
"And now, he's not picking up.. I swear, if something happened to him and this has something to do with the new guy, he'll be damned." He cursed, scrunching his face and getting worried again.
"Not again, Chanyeol. I'm sure he went home by now. Besides the new boy wasn't that bad, heard that he's going to try out basketball team this season." Suho said. Kai and Chen nodded in agreement.
"I don't care." He puffed and hesitantly put his phone in his pocket.
"Stop worrying man." Kris sighed.
They're right. I shouldn't be worrying too much, Chanyeol thought.
But I thought we've talked about this for how many times!
"The best player was deeply inlove with that nerdy boy huh?" Kai smirked. His smirk was suddenly wiped clean when a nike duffel bag hit his face. Shutting his mouth with a bright red painted on the left side of his face.
"Say that again." Chanyeol, with his deadly, challenging voice. The others just laughed it off and comforted the upset Kai.

It was when they were already outside that Chen opened his umbrella, "Good for me I brought an umbrella." He enthusiastically said. Tao immediately stood beside Xiumin.
"Who cares about umbrellas? Getting soaked in the rain isn't a big of a de—" Chanyeol was taken aback and stopped talking, he squinted his eyes through the raging rain at the small frame of body that he was very familiar with, "Hey! That's Baekhyun! Why doesn't he have an umbrella or jacket with him?! He's going to get sick!!" Chanyeol frowned, imagining Baekhyun shivering in that cold shed not far away from them.
"I thought you were just saying that rain isn't a big of a deal." Kai blurted while rolling his eyes. Chanyeol glared at him, "That's Baekhyun you idiot! He gets sick easily!!"
Chanyeol turned to Chen and ripped the umbrella out of his hands and began sprinting to where Baekhyun located while catching his breath.
"I'll make it up to you xiumin-hyung." He shouted back. The others are stunned wether Chanyeol's sudden action or it's just that the tall male addressed Xiumin as his haunt. For the first time.
The small puppy turned to him, his soaked hair covered his eyes while his short shivering arms hugged his old bag protectively.
"C-Chanyeol?" He asked. Teeth still chattering and a sneeze was heard that made Chanyeol even more frustrated.
"WHAT THE HELL, BAEKHYUN?!" Chanyeol cursed while shaking the sides of Baekhyun. He hovered the umbrella over with the shivering boy.
"YOU'RE ALL SOAKED IN RAIN, YOU'RE GONNA GET SICK! DIDN'T I TOLD YOU FOR A BILLION TIMES THAT YOU'LL WAIT FOR ME AFTER SCHOOL NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS SO THAT I CAN DRIVE YOU HOME SAFELY?! WHY ARE YOU SO STUBBORN?!" He stomped and snatched the plastic covered bag from Baekhyun for him to carry. His brows knitted together and he just wanted to scold Baekhyun from being so stubborn.
The smaller looked up at Chanyeol. He knew he made the taller frustrated again and he felt guilty because of it. This wasn't the idea he had on his mind. Chanyeol was supposed to have some rest. Not a pain in the head.
"I-I'm ssorry, I just don't want to be a burden to you, t-that's all. And I-I was just w-waiting for the bus—" Chanyeol shrugged his varsity jacket off and wrapped it around Baekhyun's small shuddering shoulders to stop the cold from seeping in his small body.
"C-Chanyeol, you don't have to! O-oh no, your jacket...It's all wet." Chanyeol hissed, shutting Baekhyun up as he pulled him against his chest and wrapped his strong and warm arms around his petite body. "I don't care about the damn jacket, Baek! I care about you! C'mon I'll drive you home. Tsk, your mom's gonna kill me." Chanyeol securely hugged Baek in his arms protectively and felt the latter's coldness that made his heart constrict even more.
Chanyeol half carried Baekhyun in the parking lot where his car located, not giving a shit from Kris and Jongin who were both looking dumbly at him from the inside of their cars as they drove by. He opened the passenger's seat and lifted Baekhyun inside. Who does that kind of effort? Kai thought as he shake his head and started to drive off.
"C-Chanyeol! I'm all soaked, your car's going to get wet and it'll get -" Chanyeol whined harshly, he doesn't know if he's going to be annoyed by the fact that Baekhyun is being a dumb nugget again.
"Come on, Baek! Who do you think I care about more? You or the bloody leather seats? What the hell? Now get in." Chanyeol rolled his eyes loosing a handful of patience. He can't believe that Baekhyun cares for his car seats more than himself who just got soaked in a freaking cold rain.
Baekhyun silently nodded, getting a comfortable position in the car while shivering and shaking gradually. He gripped the warm jacket around him and snuggled on it even more, sinking his neck on the smell of his bestfriend's citrusy and minty fragrance on the clothing.
Chanyeol closed the umbrella and rushed to the driver's seat and let the heater on as he started up the car.
Beside from the noise that's coming from the rain, hitting the car roof that made Chanyeol difficult to concentrate on the road, he kept on looking beside him where a shivering midget seated.
A churn in his stomach is all he needed to make him realize that he was uncomfortable seeing his bestfriend whimper and sneeze. Seeing his bestfriend like this while leaning in the cold glass window makes his heart heavy.
He thinks he's being a burden to me... He thought.
"Come here," Chanyeol cooed gently. Baekhyun didn't seem to catch up what the latter had just said so he just peeked to Chanyeol with a confused look.
Chanyeol sighed. He sneaked his right arm around Baekhyun's thin waist and securely pulled him to his side while his other arm was driving.
He held Baekhyun tight and let him nuzzle the smurf's body under his arms and on his toned chest. He rubbed the back of Baekhyun that made the latter to stop from shivering. He kissed the top of the latter's head and inhaled the sweet cottony and baby innocent smell of his bestfriend.
"I'm sorry C-Chanyeol..." Baekhyun sighed in guilt and contentment as he gripped on Chanyeol's sides, digging more heat from the latter's body. That's all Chanyeol needed to hear before he starts feeling relieved. But he can't still avoid the sad feeling that his bestfriend tried to go home just himself just to reduce his own stress.
"Don't you ever dare think that you're a burden to me again, Byun Baekhyun. You will never be a burden to me. Please. Promise that." Chanyeol seriously spoke as he combed the laters wet hair with his fingers. The smaller just whimpered as he nodded his head.
His car stopped infront of a drug store and bought meds for Baekhyun and after that they were already infront of Baekhyun's old and vintage house.
He carried Baekhyun outside to the front door with the borrowed-slash-snatched umbrella as he knocked a couple of times before Mrs.Byun opened the door.
"Oh my, what happened?" Mrs.Byun worriedly asked as she witnessed that Chanyeol is soaked in wet while her son is wrapped in a jacket.
"Baekhyun got soaked in rain Mrs.Byun, here's the meds that I bought him. Please take good care of him, don't let him attend classes tomorrow if he's not still okay by then, I'll take care of his excuse letter." He said while leading Baekhyun inside his room.
"Thanks for the effort of getting my little Baekhyunnie home and buying him medicines Chanyeol, You're really a nice friend to my son. And anyway tomorrow is Saturday so there's no classes, don't worry I'll take care for him. You're all soaked too, want to borrow some of Tae's shirt? Stay any longer, I'll prepare a cup of tea." Mrs.Byun asked, she seems to notice the worried face that was etched on Chanyeol's face.
"Oh right. Uhh, I'm okay Mrs.Byun, I'm fine thank you. Anyway I needed to go home already, I'm sure father would be in range again if he knew that I'm always late to get home." He smiled and with that he dashed in his car while protecting his face from the harsh rain with his thick arms and drove home while feeling the surging coldness without Baekhyun's presence.
"Your parents haven't arrive yet but dinner is ready, Chanyeol. Anything we can provide for you?" The butler spoke once he got home but Chanyeol just passed him through with a little shake. He felt obnoxious and a little dizzy.
"Mrs.Lee, can you get me pills for fever and body pain up here?" He shouted at the maid from upstairs before he slumped his dead tired and heating body in his bed.
'Whenever you ask favor, say Thank You, Chanyeol! It's not that hard!! How many times do I have to tell you that?!' Baekhyun's voice rang on his mind.
"Here you go sir Chanyeol." An old lady knocking on his door. He groaned because of the pulsing pain on his head and opened his door. He took the meds from the old woman's hands and before he close his door, he halted and smiled a bit at the lady.
"Mrs.Lee... Thank you."
