I... am left with his birthday present in my hand... and standing blankly.

'And.... Happy Birthday, Baekhyun ya.. and.... I love you' - Sunbae

He..... he looks sad.....

"Sunbae..." I mumble and quickly follow him out

"Hey! Birthday boy!" My seniors from our table calls me but...
I only look for him and he's not there.

Did he go back?

I run out of pub and .... I see his car drives away.

"Baek!" Kris run towards me ... I think he was talking on his phone outside of pub

"Ah.... Kris... done with your call?"

"Yeah.. what are you doing out here? I saw you running out"

"I..... nothing......."

"What's in your hand?"

"Ah... present.... Let's...let's go back in..."

"Baek..."

"Nae?"

"Will you.... Will you follow to my house after this party?"

"Aigoo... you prepared something for me again?"

"Haha... am I easy to guess?"

"Very.."

"So... what's your answer?"

"S...sure!"

"Okay.. let's go back in"

I can't ... concentrate anymlre.
Sunbae... why does he look like that?
He.... Really lost weight.

*touching necklace put in the coat pocket*

And why did he give this.... Expensive present?

'I bought that bracelet for you... the day after you said you wanted it.. at that mall...
I bought it....but I couldn't give it to you because the day I was going to give you....
You were already wearing it... you said he gave you.
I.... I am always late.' - Chanyeol sunbae

Sunbae... you are not late this time.
And are you even eating well?
Why does he look so thin?

"Baek.." kris holds my hand under the table

Yeah... why am I thinking about sunbae?
We are long finished.

I follow to Kris's house after party.
I can't shake all my thoughts about sunbae.
Did he get home okay?
Was he with his driver?
He didn't end up sleeping in car because he's drunk is he?
All sort of things...

"Baek... come in" kris says

"Okay.."

And I follow him into his house... he leads me to a room and.... When he opens the door...

I ... completely gasp.

"It's nothing but.... I wanted to hold private birthday party for you.... And I know it is late now... but... still..." Kris says

"I...it's not ... late.... And it's so...... there are a lot of present... hehe.." I can't help but shed tears

"Hey... why are you tearing up? Did you not like my surprise? I know I did it quick and .... It's small... I will do better next time.. okay?"

"K..kris.... Why are you so good to me?... just.... Just why?"

"What do you mean why, Baek?"

"What if.... What if I can't return.... Your feelings?" I say and start crying

"Hey... shsssh.... You don't really need to worry about that.... I'm not doing these because I want to get your answer. I just... want you to be aware that... you are loved and you deserve all good things.... Hmm?"

"Kris.... *sob*"

"Can I at least hug you?"

"Krisss" I say and hug him

"Why you have to be so cute?" He says

"Kris..... what if I hurt you?"

"You are not... so don't worry.... And Baek ya... at least:... will you think of me? My confession?"

I just... nod  as I cry in his arms...
I feel so bad... I feel very bad for Kris.

What if I can never return his feelings?
What if .....

Next day

"Baekhyuneeeeeee!!" Ana shouts and runs towards me

Me and Kris come to school together and Ana and Jun were waiting for us.

"I heard you two are dating now.." Ana whispers into my ears as she hugs me

"Ehhhh... where does it comes from?" I ask

"You went to his house last night?"

"Yeah..so?"

"So? Nothing happened?!"

"Ya ya... remember who your boyfriend is. Stop hugging Baekhyun" Jun says and pulls Ana away from me

"Ya... you don't like me hugging Baekhyun because I'm your girlfriend or you don't want anyone touch him?" Ana asks Jun

"The latter" Jun says and walks away

"Ya!" Ana shouts and run after him

"How lively couples are" kris says "we can be like them too" kris whispers into my ears and walks away fast

"...ehhhhh... Krisss!!"I shout and follow them

The new house we moved is not as close to school as our old house was.
So everyday, me alone of both me and Jun come to school with Kris mostly.
Because our new house is quite close to Kris's place.

Moving out wasn't my idea at all.
Mom and Jun were just over reacting.
Even Mongryong seems to miss Jjareu sometimes.
He looks sad these days.

I should take him a walk in evenings.

"Byun Baekhyun?" The lecturer calls me

"Nae?"

"About the absence you took. Like for a week"

"Nae sir"

"The student council office asked you to stop by. You can go there for some paper works."

"Nae. I will" I say and walk out of lecture hall and heads to the student council building

Wow, the weather is very cloudy today.
I think it will rain in the evening. 

As I walk in the campus.....

"...sunbae?"

"Ah... hey..."

"What..... what happened to you?"

"This?" He says and smiles... "nothing... got into a small accident last night"

"Wh...why were you beaten up ... this bad? What happened? Did you apply anything?" I say and take a step towards him but.... He steps back....away fr me.

"D...don't mind me..." he says "have a nice day then" he says and quickly walk away me

What.... What?
Why is he... like that?
