Author's note.

I'm so sorry for this very late update. I may have the plot already written on my mind but time is limited for someone like me. I hope you'll like this chapter though. I'm trying to unfold the story step by step. Sorry if there's not much smut in it. But still I'm hoping you'd be interested in reading it.
Baekie's POV

Breakfast at Chen's is like a pack of wolves eating together. They're boisterous and unruly.

And while everyone are busy throwing taunts to each other Baekie can't help but observe the boys. Lay kept his hands on Suho playing with their fingers. Kai is now openly hugging DO and feeding him bits of the chicken he requested for the latter to cook for him. Luhan is making goo goo eyes on Sehun trying to catch his attention as he licked the crumbs of toast from his fingers. Kris tried acting cool as he sat beside Tao but he can't help smirking as the other unconsciously caught him staring and accidentally swallowed a big chunk of the spicy chicken nuggets, making him choke on it. Kris hastely get a glass of water water and give it to the poor guy, rubbing his back gently.

Yet what took her interest more, is the side glances both Minseok and Jongdae is giving one another. It's more of a combination of awkwardness and embarrassment. Both are avoiding eye contact.

"Can someone please tell me what really happened last night after I slept?" she asked mischievously, eyeing all of them, a smile crept in her lovely face. So focused is she on her friends, that she didn't noticed the disgusted look Chanyeol sent to all of his friends.

Kyungsoo noticed him and almost spill the coffee he was drinking when Chanyeol's eyes threw daggers at Jongin. He nudged the male beside him to stop feeding him the chicken.

"Let's go Baekie, I'll take you home. You might get sick again." Chanyeol took Baekie's hands and urged her to stand up.

"What? Wait! Why are we leaving? I thought we'd still play games." startled and a little bit confused of the the tall male's action but she wasn't able to speak more when she was pulled out to the door. None of her friends were able to stop Chanyeol from dragging her out of the house and into his car.

Baekie is fuming mad. She can't seem to grasp what's happening inside Chanyeol's head. It irritated her to get snatched at like a rag doll and pushed inside the car without any care. But she kept her cool. Not speaking nor looking at the giant beside her. When they arrived at Chanyeol's house, she glanced sceptically at him. Brows pushed upward and lips thinned in suppressed anger.
The tall male came to her side of the car to open the door but Baekie is much faster, and got out of the car unattended. She moved her body away when Chanyeol was about to hold her by the hand.

" Mind explaining why the sudden rudeness towards our friends?" asked Baekie in a low yet menacingly voice. Her face void of emotion though inside she's seething. Her hands placed in a fighting mode in front of her chest.

"Sorry for that. But I'm feeling disgusted with all those people acting gay in front of us. Yes they're our friends but can't they be a little more subtle and avoid acting like that while we're there. I really can't still stomach them being gay. Ugh!!!" Chanyeol answered, his stomach churning in disgust. He didn't hear the slight soft gasp of the person beside him.

" Are you, by any chance, homophobic Chan?"asked Baekie, her stance suddenly  changing from fighting mode to defensive mode. She waited nervously for his reply.

" Yes I am. I really hate being around faggots and lesbians. But since they're my friends I am trying to tolerate them as much as I can." Chanyeol annoyingly replied looking away from her that's why he didn't see the latter flinching from his harsh words.

Baekie felt her world crumbled. The feelings she developed towards the giant starts to become a choker around her neck that's slowly grappling her, making her breathe unevenly. She felt faint and her face turned pale. Chanyeol turned around and noticed her finally as she swayed and fall. He was just in time to catch her. Worry written all over his face.

“Baekie!!! Are you alright?!!!” he carried her inside the house and sat her in the couch. He hurriedly went to the kitchen to get her some water to drink.

Baekie drank the water carefully, avoiding the taller's worried glances as he kneels right in front of her on the couch. Afterwards, when she felt a bit better and is sure that she won't faint anymore, she took out her phone and call Tao asking him to fetch her at Chanyeol's house. The look given to her by the male beside her is a combination of worry and confusion. He was about to ask her about it but Baekie raised her hands to stop him.

She spoke softly this time. Looking at his eyes intently and touching his face gently. Her eyes spoke volumes as the words came out of her mouth. Sadness slowly creeping from her heart.

“ Tell me honestly Yeol, what are we? When you kissed me last night. When you said keep away from my girl to Tao, what are we? Are we even in a relationship now? What do you really feel for me?” Baekie asked. Tears falling freely from her lovely eyes.

“ I like you Baekie..no scratch that. I love you Baekie. And I hope you like me too.” Chanyeol answered. He looked at her, as he wiped away the tears that's continuously falling from the eyes of the woman he love dearly. Love. If anyone ever told him that he'd fall for a woman like her back in the past, he would have laughed and tell them off. But now, as he faces the girl in front of him, tears running down her smooth rosey cheeks, lips looking so soft and plump, he can honestly say that his feelings run deep.

"Why? Why do you love me? You know I'm not a real woman. You know I'm a transgender. Why? If you're homophobic, then why fall for me?" Baekie again asked. She moved out of Chanyeol's hold and stood up. Afraid that if she kept touching him, she might give in. “What makes me different from all those faggots and lesbians and gays you hate so much huh?!!!” her voice raising a bit and she hugged herself as she continues to cries.

Chanyeol helplessly stared at Baekie crying and avoiding his touch. He so badly wanted to hold her in his arms but the latter take a step back away from him like as if she was burned. He was about to answer her questions when her phone rang, showing Tao's number. Instead of accepting the call, Baekie walked towards the door and opened it. She turned around and said the words that made Chanyeol's feet rooted to the spot and made his insides churn.

"I guess, I have to say goodbye to you for now Yeol. We both need to rethink what's happening to us. This is way getting too fast and we might end up hurt if we go forward. Let's just keep things light. I...have to go." Baekie went out of the house and walked fast towards Tao's waiting form right outside the gate riding her motorbike, not even sparing Chanyeol a backward glance. She's afraid that if she did she'd ran back and give in to her urges.

Chanyeol's reflexes may be fast but due to shocked of hearing what Baekie said, he was slow to move and ran after her. When he catches up, she's already on the bike, wearing her helmet and hugging Tao from the back. He doesn't know whether to get pissed or whatever. All he knew is that Baekie left him hanging and wondering what just happened. He ignored the warning sign and instead dialled his hyung Kris' number. He'd give Baekie a day or two. Then he'll talk to her about it.

****😢😢😢😢

Keep safe out there Kyungsoo ah. I'll miss you so much. But I thank Lay for being there to support your brothers as they send off their brother off to military camp.
