"No, I won't teach you," Chanyeol argued for the third time.
"But Chanyeol I want to learn!" Baekhyun insisted like a petulant child. He had been asking Chanyeol about it and he had no idea how this bothered the taller.
Chanyeol sighed and eyed the seemingly determined midget. His height just reached his shoulders.
"You can't even throw a punch Baekhyun." He complained.
"I could learn... Everything is learned! Please?" Baekhyun begged as he clasped his palms together.
Changing rolled his eyes and begrudgingly stood Infront of Baekhyun.
"Hit me." He ordered. The smaller looked at him confused.
"Like hit, hit? A punch?" Baekhyun asked.
"Yeah, punch me anywhere you like. Do your best." Chanyeol spoke and waited for Baekhyun to adjust.
Baekhyun stared at him for a while before lifting his balled fist in the air and throwing a punch at Chanyeol.
"Aww! That hurts!" Chanyeol reacted as he rubbed his chest. Baekhyun on the other hand was surprised and immediately checked on where he punched the latter.
"I'm sorry! Oh my, I should have been gentler!" He apologized as he joined rubbing the taller's spot where he punched him.
"Baekhyun, I'm just kidding. Your punch is like a wind hitting me and here you are apologizing for it." Chanyeol sighed as he made a blank face.
"Really it doesn't hurt?" Baekhyun asked dejectedly, "But I punched you hard." He spoke disappointedly.
"What is that, painless than an ant bite. You sure you did your best?" Chanyeol chuckled but then kept quiet when he saw the smaller stood silently.
"You don't have to learn to fight you know. I'm here to protect you." He comforted as he rubbed Baekhyun's sides. Baekhyun shook his head in disagreement and glared at Chanyeol.
He glared at Chanyeol before staring unto the fresh cut on the taller's lips.
"That wouldn't have happened if it wasn't because of me!" Baekhyun gritted his teeth as he pointed accusingly at the bruise on Chanyeol's lips.
"That meanie senior! He dared to fight a junior like you!? He is insane! He should pick someone of his size! He's a bully!" He angrily blabbered.
"He's my size Baekhyun." Chanyeol deadpanned.
"Besides, I kicked his ass and made him regret picking on you." He said proudly as he smiled at Baekhyun.
"But you got hurt!" The smaller argued again, stomping his feet.
"I don't want you getting hurt!" Baekhyun's tears were now sliding on his cheeks as he stared at Chanyeol frustratedly.
Chanyeol's heart melted by his friend's reaction so instead, he rubbed his head and wiped the tears on him.
"If you want to hurt someone, go for the throat or at the groin part." He spoke. Changing the topic.
"You're slim and short, you're faster than your attacker, so you must use your agility and speed to your advantage and attack first." He instructed as he grabbed Baekhyun's hand and showed how he would attack his opponent in the throat.
"As for the groin area, should I punch it? Cause I don't want to grab somebody else winner." Baekhyun commented innocently.
Chanyeol face-palmed and chuckled silently at Baekhyun's innocence.
"You should kick their balls as hard as you can." He spoke.
Before he could show what he meant by that, Baekhyun's foot is already flying into the latter's middle area.
And with a thud. Chanyeol's vision darkened as he felt his balls kicked. He dropped to the ground, groping his genitals as he wailed in pain.
"Yah! It wasn't that hard! Are you serious?!" Baekhyun asked. He didn't know that balls are sensitive.
"I think you broke my eggs," Chanyeol whispered as he rolled off the ground side to side to alleviate the pain.
"Now I know how to fight! You'll never hurt yourself again Chanyeol!" The small boy grinned victoriously at where Chanyeol rolled his eyes.
"What did I just teach you..." He commented before whining once more like his groin pulsed in pain.

💕B A E K H Y U N 'S P O V💕
I can't sleep.
I can't breathe.
Gosh, It's really...
Why is it so tight and heavy and hot...
I opened my eyes only to find Sehun wrapping his long arms and legs over my whole body like a sort of a human teddy bear. His strong arms tangled in my neck and I'm pressed awkwardly on his hard chest, and that I can feel his warm snores above my head and the shallow beating of his heart.
I felt my face flush pink suddenly as I realized the position we are having. I've never been this close with anyone else except Chanyeol.
Scrunching my face, I struggled to get off his choking arms of his and slid myself up the cocoon-like sleeping bag. I can't believe we even fit from that thing.
Gosh! Whose snore is that? Oh— their snores.
I figured that they're snoring like a drunken old man in their sleep. They're really loud. I thought Chanyeol is the only one who emit the loudest snore but then I met them.
I aimlessly glanced inside the tent and witnessed how the limbs of the basketball players dramatically scattered around. I can see from the dim light of the lamp, how Kai tossed his legs on Kyungsoo's stomach and how Tao hugged Kris' legs like a koala. Suho and Lay literally hugged each other weirdly and that I could barely stop myself from grinning and puffing some giggles. If only I have a phone with a camera.
A cold breeze hit my face from the opening of the tent so I gaze upon it. The piece of the entrance of the tent swaying back and forth by the cold air's will. I narrowed my eyes resulting in me seeing a giant who was laying there, clutching his legs and curling into a ball like a homeless person. A frown automatically ran up to my face when I saw how he was annoyingly shivering and sneezing from time to time.
I got up immediately before the pain in my head reach my nerves. I looked around and saw Kai's sleeping bag that he didn't use and grabbed it. I can still hear the scout watchers and officials who were having some conversations outside when I quietly and slowly closed the zipper of the tent.
I sat beside the total derp in front and contemplated waking him up or just leaving him frozen there because I am annoyed by his behavior this afternoon. He didn't only break the "NO USING OF GADGETS" rule, but he also disappeared earlier like a stupid bubble and worried me to death and that he didn't have supper with us a while back. Hmm...
And here he was, making me all worried and frustrated as he carelessly put himself there without caring to cover some blankets or something to fight the cold.
After some time of looking at his scrunched face while hugging his legs, I slapped his butt lightly to wake him up.
Once...
Twice...
Thrice...
"Yah! What are—Oh, uhh... what're you doing..." His voice suddenly changed from harsh to gentle when he realized it was just me. He rubbed his eyes rather annoyingly, knowing that he's a giant, not a puppy.
"What do you think you're doing? You are sleeping in front of the entrance while the cold breeze is hitting you, making me wait and making me all worried while you disappear for the second time? You're not funny, you know that?" I huffed and folded my arms. I don't care if I act like a stern mother right now but I don't tolerate him like this because I care for him more than he cares for himself. I summoned a glare— yeah, I've been practicing my glare for some time now in the mirror, and believe it or not, I get scared too sometimes at my reflection.
But uhh somehow, it didn't move Chanyeol a bit. Whatever.
"I'm waiting for an explanation," I added, tapping my elbow as I sat in an Indian sit, while he just rubbed his nape and pouted.
Gosh, I can't believe this. I don't care if he calls his girlfriend 24/7 but disappearing like that, and not caring for himself properly? Aish.
Giving up, I reached for his neck and forehead checking his body temperature if he got a fever. I just scowled at him when I felt that he's a lil bit cold in his body but warm in his neck and forehead, enough to call it a fever. He just looked at me guiltily as I got up and fished some meds in my bag that I specially prepared just for situations like this. I grabbed a water bottle and handed it to him.
"Drink," I ordered, forwardly folding my arms and tapping my fingers in my bicep as I raised an eyebrow impatiently.
He gulped it down in one go and wiped the remaining water droplets in his lips with the back of his cold hand.
I prepared the sleeping bag near the lamp and slowly pulled a pillow from where Sehun's head was laying.
"Let's sleep now," I said and he obediently crawled and slid in the nice and comfy sleeping bag. I rolled a comforter for us to lay upon our heads and slid in my tiny frame into the large sleeping bag.
The entire time he was quiet, it's what I've learned over the years, it's either he was guilty or he was just deeply thinking about something. He should understand how strict I am when it comes to his health—as he does to me, that he must grow up from being a total derp about how I act.
His broad back is facing me and I can feel that he's still awake. And that second, I felt guilty. I've been too harsh on him I guess... Sighing, I gently snaked my arms around his waist and tried to sleep when he suddenly spoke, "Are you still mad at me?" He whispered lowly as he shifted slightly.
"I was mad at you five minutes ago," I said, my eyes still closed while trying to sleep. I know he was racking his heads off again for good timing to apologize so I took the chance to stop him before he casts his apology chants on me.
"Don't be sorry Chanyeol, you know, you're the one who told me that friends forgive each other and that friends mustn't worry each other right? So I've forgiven you for worrying me lately and sleeping out there alone and freezing. I was just concerned about your health, Chanyeol." I breathed. He stayed quiet for quite some time so I looked over to his face and that he was again surely blaming himself like a kid biting his lower lip rather hard.
I sighed and used my strength to turn his enormous body around. It's good that he helped me maneuver his heavy body as he turned around. He faced me and looked at me, perhaps he's looking for a clue that I'm still angry. Instead, I pinched his cheeks and he unconsciously bit his lips from the sudden sting.
"I'm not annoyed anymore, Yeol! One more look like that and I swear I will hate you forever." I dared. His eyes bulged and he gasped a little. I nuzzled my face on his chest and gently tickled his sides so he lowly breathed a whine around and pushed me a bit. His tensed body was now gone.
"I'm really sorry, I-your mother just called me a while ago and told me to look after you and he talked worriedly so I gave her assuring words. So I wasn't able to catch up for dinner. And I'm sorry for worrying you, my sleeping bag was missing and I saw you sharing one with Sehun so I didn't bother to wake you up anymore." He apologized while looking down so I just rubbed his back. So he's blaming my mother now?
"You know, even though my mother doesn't tell you to look after me, I'm sure that you'll really take care of me. And that I trust you. But when you worry me that much, I will scold you like what you always do to me whenever I'm being stubborn and all. And how can you look after me if you're sick, Chanyeol? Did you get my point?" Even though I'm not looking at him, I know that he was pursuing his lips cutely.
"Now let's sleep, you're still freezing. Here, let me warm you up." I requested and hugged him tighter.
"Thanks, Baek." He mumbled in a low tone manner and snaked his long arms around me. Like I don't know how much I've heard that phrase before. Seems like a million times now.
"What do best friends do?" I smiled, still nuzzled in his chest. I felt his lips dampen on the top of my head.
I heard his relieved sigh before I dozed off to sleep sniffing the usual Chanyeol smell with that usual minty and Woody fragrance that I am super familiar with.
His shallow breathing and lulling heartbeat helped too. Now, I can sleep more comfortably. His weight, the tightness of the hug, the warmth, it's not bugging me anymore. This makes me comfortable and safe in between his arms better than anyone else.
