No one ever expected— except Luhan, that Baekhyun would dress up differently today. Differently, in a manner, his classmates would look or watch him like he's new in the university.
With just a simple white cotton turtleneck, black jeans, and boots. No one would believe that the person in front of them was their classmate for almost a year now.
"Hi..." Isn't it a bit weird when you approach your childhood best friend with a simple "hi"?— No, if he was just your childhood best friend— but yes if he happened to be your best friend and you like him.
"Hello," Baekhyun answered weirdly, too.
"O—kay Guys, you can stop staring at him now." Kyungsoo pointed out and Baekhyun was more than thankful for that.
"So guys! Isn't it great that Baekhyun wears these kinds of clothes? I knew he would look so great in that outfit, but I never imagined him being hot and beautiful!" Dara beamed, his eyes glowing as he speaks excitedly.—by the way, Dara was sitting next to Chanyeol's left side while Baekhyun was facing the two from the rectangular, metallic table that was set on as cafeteria dining tables.
They all agreed. Nodding furiously and bringing up their additional compliments, making the embarrassed small male blush like a tomato.

Chanyeol secretly glances at Baekhyun's blue eyes behind his round glasses.
So beautiful, he thought. He felt moonstruck.
"Huh? What's so beautiful in that? Do you think the new old professor who never considers athletes like us is fair?" Lay propped, He was talking about their professor but then Chanyeol commented, So beautiful, out of the blues.
"Huh? Did I say that? You must have heard something else." Chanyeol defended. Diverting his gaze away from Baekhyun who was also anticipating why would he comment like that on such topics.
"Are you daydreaming?" Kai asked with his famous smirk.
"No! Why would I?" Of course not! Why would he daydream in front of Baekhyun who was dressed elegantly today, away from his usual old sweats and baggy pants? Why would he daydream with the love of his life who's sitting in front of him just a table away?
"If you say so." Suho hit Kai on the side with his elbows, telling him to shut up when he saw Chanyeol start blushing.
"Is it Dara?" Sehun blurted keeping his trance and composure steady. Not wanting to express any behavior that triggers anyone, —but Chanyeol.
Dara just stayed silent. Not wanting to engage anything from Sehun.
But there's that kind of expression that was evident on the girl's face. Looked confused, as if asking with her face, 'what the fuck are you trying to do?'
💞F L A S H B A C K💞
"Dara, I will never leave Baekhyun here alone."
"What do you mean, Sehun?"
"In my life, I've never seen someone who cares a lot, who put himself first, who scolds like an adult yet acts like a kid, who doesn't judge, who don't hurt other people, who love purely and who never looks the bad side of people," Sehun spoken.
"Woah, Woah, brother. Since when did you talk that much before?" Dara asked, amused that his brother spoke long words just like that.
"And what does Baekhyun have to do with this? I mean, hey, did you just fall in love with that cute lil guy?" Dara asked teasingly. She knew his brother was straight so she never expected such answers like "yes" or something near there.
But truth be told...
"Yes. I like being near to Baekhyun." Sehun admitted.
"Oh my gosh... what the fuck? All those time, flirting with girls, fucking with them, you'll end up being gay?" Dara asked in shock.
"Shut the fuck up, Dara. He's not like everyone else. Baekhyun was an exception." He said with his glare and deep voice. Dara internally shivered.
"So what's the big deal? Get him! Use your charms! You usually get any girls out there by just your smirk." Dara has spoken effortlessly like it'll solve everything, flipping his hair.
"I tried. Chanyeol won't let me." Sehun reasoned out. Though the truth was that Chanyeol was already in love with Baekhyun, he don't want to let Dara know it. Because the thing was that Dara would turn to Baekhyun and bad things happen.
"Why won't Chanyeol let you?" Dara asked with that off tone, raising her left eyebrow while waiting for an answer.
"Because he thinks I don't deserve Baekhyun." —because Chanyeol was also in love with Baekhyun even though you're his fiancé, Sehun thought.
"If that's the case, I could help you! I mean you already had one favor that I did, you know, concealing that we're siblings... but it's okay for a second favor." Dara grinned.
"What do you want in return?" Sehun asked unamused.
"Yah! I didn't ask for anything in return! Do you think I'm that kind of a sister?! Oh my god, Sehun."
•~•~•~•~•❤️❤️❤️•~•~•~•~•
Sehun hadn't been that son that his
the family had wanted him to become. He was that kind of person who was craving for freedom, a kid who just want to escape from the grip of his parents around his neck, to delete the expectations and those made-up rules revolving around him that were slowly choking him.
Having a name in the industry, carrying your parents' footsteps, and following it so that you can fulfill their satisfaction and to earn and become a proud parent was the hardest challenge that a rich child must endure.
Chanyeol was also one of the people who are supposed to have this kind of situation, but unlike Sehun, he had escaped this kind of hell when he found his safe haven on a small-town boy many years back.
Chanyeol's chance of escaping the agonizing world out there had shifted the moment he saved the small boy who's a sobbing mess while being bullied.
Meeting Baekhyun was a chance for him and he was thankful that he had him by his side through the years.
But Sehun... he was that kid who wants to be loved unconditionally, too. He was tired of people using him, his fame, his money. Tired of being left alone and living as if he doesn't own his life.
He was that kid who never speaks of his pain to anyone, he was that person who never really saw what love means before he met Baekhyun. And even though he just keep himself by his pain, he was undoubtedly jealous.
"What're you doing here?" Baekhyun heard a deep soothing voice behind him and so, he looked back to see a young man standing on the door frame with his hands shoved on his pocket.
"I'm just enjoying the fresh air." Baekhyun smiles thinly while tilting his head, back to the view of their whole campus.
He was on their building's rooftop. Just watching the horizon and feeling the calming breeze and the afternoon sunlight that's trying to find its way from the cottony clouds above. It was their vacant time anyway and he just wanted to think about the things that were swimming in his head and trying to figure out things that have been missing in his puzzles.
"I thought you're going to kill yourself out of sorrow." Sehun mocked, driving his sarcastically stoic face-on view.
"Yah! Why would I do that?!" Baekhyun ranted as he dusted his pants and used his arms to push himself upward so that he can stand.
"Because Chanyeol was daydreaming about Dara." Sehun shot back almost immediately. Bringing that deep voice into action. He neared Baekhyun without any eye contact as he looked around the sky, down to the tall mahogany trees and other classroom buildings around the campus.
"I—I'm not jealous. Why would I be..." Baekhyun spoken. Gazing lower than before. Chanyeol didn't really say that he was daydreaming about Dara, in fact, it was Baekhyun whom he was daydreaming with. But then it turned to look like it was the other way around.
"If you really love Chanyeol, you should be jealous, because you know that at the end of this wonderful day, he will be married to Dara," Sehun spoke clearly. He looked at the fidgeting smurf beside him and sighed.
"I know that you're in love with Chanyeol. And Chanyeol has a thing for you too. So don't hide it to me." Sehun states bitterly, harsher than before. Baekhyun just thinks about the words that Sehun told him.
Sehun was right, Baekhyun thought, looking down the tiled floor.
A moment of silence.
Baekhyun heard Sehun sigh and realized that Sehun faced him, feeling those orbs intently looking at him.
"I know it's hard. I know the feeling of heartbreak. It stings."
"Mine had been stabbed, stepped on, it had been cut and played. But at the end of the day, I have no choice but to endure it. You know Baekhyun, I love you from the bottom of my heart. And if and only if Chanyeol would hurt you so much from choosing Dara over you, I'm just here, hoping, standing beside you, loving you."
"But in the meantime, I'll just endure this pain in my heart, hoping that you'll spare me your attention soon. Even just for a bit."
•~•~•~•~•❤️❤️❤️•~•~•~•~•
Baekhyun was confused. Frustrated by the feelings and thoughts that were running on his mind.
He's new to these kinds of situations, like a baby that was born yesterday. There's this cold air clinging on his shoulders as he walks down the corridor with his new and branded bag in his embrace.
It was kind of silent, it's a bit warm with those golden raises coming from the windows. And then Dara saw him.
"Yah! Where did you go? I was looking for you all this time! Chanyeol is worried that he even ditched his basketball practice just to find you. And you're here, strolling around alone? Aish. This kid." Dara huffed.
"Sorry, I was just on the rooftop. Uhh, did I bother you that much? I'm really sorry, I should have told you where will I head to earlier." Baekhyun apologized. Dara saw that weird sulky atmosphere of the shiny ball of fluff.
"Hey what's wrong?" Dara asked, bringing her hand on Baekhyun's left arm.
"Nothing." Baekhyun looked forwards and smiled at Dara. That smile that he practiced convincing Chanyeol every time the latter is asking when he's okay even though he's in pain. —because Chanyeol will never let go of Baekhyun in those kinds of situations.
"Sure?" Dara grinned.
"Yah! What's that smile?" The little one asked. He saw how excited Dara was.
"I asked Chanyeol if we could watch the meteor shower together, tomorrow night. And guess what!" Dara's eyes sparkled, her excitement is brimming with all happy energy. Though she's not aware that she's sucking Baekhyun's remaining happy energy.
"He said yes?" Baekhyun mumbled, his voice became so small and low that it sounded like a whisper.
"Yes!" Dara said tipping a little.
"Great." Baekhyun heard Dara giggles—but his heart that's been breaking is louder. He felt disappointed with the fact that he hoped and he got even so excited for tomorrow's hangout, but guess what? He seems betrayed.
"Hey, before I forgot, Sehun asked me if you're free tomorrow then, he was asking if it's alright if you could accompany him? That boy is hotter than my fiancé, Aish. Never imagined he prefers cute boys." Dara rolled his eyes before smiling cheekily.
"I'll see. Someone asked me out tomorrow too. I guess he's not serious about it."
