Chapter 10
Baekhyun opened his eyes. His vision was still blurry and he haven't got a clue of what happened. He tried sitting but he haven't got the strength to do so, so he just settled on lying down. He didn't know where he was and his eyes was still adjusting from the sight.
When his vision were already clear, he already knew where he was. The school's clinic. He groaned, he suddenly remembered what happened. He fainted, in front of the whole class. That was shameful, really.
"Oh, you're already awake," someone said. He looked at the side to see who it was, "C-Chanyeol?" Oh shit. Formalities, Baekhyun. You're still on school.
"Yeah, you fainted and I took you to the clinic," he said casually as he sat down on the bed right next to Baekhyun's. Baekhyun didn't know what to say and so he just muttered 'thanks' to the guy.
"You should really rest, Mr. Byun. You got the whole class worried about you," Chanyeol scolded worriedly.
Baekhyun just nodded. Usually, the words that Chanyeol had been saying just passed from the ear to the other. He usually doesn't take these things seriously though he already knew what to do. He just doesn't like to be reminded every time this happens. This was not the first time that happened to Baekhyun and he already got used to it, what happens before and after he fainted. He already knew that, but he felt different right now since it was Chanyeol who was saying those words.
"Uhm.. So how was the test, Mr. Park?" Baekhyun asked changing the subject and he was also curious at how did the test go for Chanyeol since he just taught him yesterday. He wanted to know if the tutor was a great help for him, because if it did, maybe he really needs someone who could teach him personally.
"It was fine. Pretty easy, I guess. Just took me time in solving the problems," Chanyeol honestly said and Baekhyun just gave him a nod.
"The tutoring worked. I guess that you really need one, right?" Baekhyun joked which Chanyeol took seriously. It wasn't just the tutor, it was you. That's what he thought after Baekhyun said those words. He was somehow wondering how could Baekhyun act normal after the kiss, when he can't even act normal. Maybe it was just a usual kiss for him, nothing too extraordinary. He thought but he knew more. He knew that Baekhyun had been thinking about it, he knew that Baekhyun had somehow liked it. False hopes hurt. Truth hurts. Love hurts. His friends' remarks repeated on his mind. But love? Chanyeol never believed in love but he was waiting for someone to prove it to him. Hurt. He never thought he could use that, but it was very strange because he never was hurt. Not his entire life, not in his life.
"So... about the kiss," Chanyeol suddenly said making Baekhyun's eyes to widen. He didn't regret he open up the subject, he wanted to know what Baekhyun had felt about it, if it was mutual or not. "Do you like it?" Here goes nothing. He thought.
It took time for Baekhyun to process the question the latter was asking. Do I like it? He already knew the answer, but it feels strange admitting it, and in front of a player. He didn't want to get played, he wanted to be sure. "How about you, Mr. Park? Do you like it?" He asked him while playing a smirk on his lips.
Chanyeol was shocked, not at the question but at Baekhyun. He's smirking. At me. Goddamn. It made it hard for him to answer the question because of the smirk but he remembered that Baekhyun was waiting so he got himself ready. Ready for Baekhyun's reaction, ready for his judgement, ready for his answer. It took up a lot of courage before he started, "When we kissed, it was different. I don't know. I've got this feeling inside of me that just exploded but it was overwhelming. I can't explain it but it was amazing. So if you ask me if I like the kiss, I did, Mr. Byun. But, how about you? I want you to be honest, sir. Because I am. I really am."
It was Baekhyun's turn to be shocked. His smirking lips dropped into a thin line. He was surprised at the answer. He didn't know it was a lie, a player's way to get to his heart, but when he looked at him in the eye, he only saw honesty and seriousness at what he was saying. "I-I like it," he stammered looking away at the guy. It was embarrassing. He didn't want to say a long speech like Chanyeol did. He wasn't good at expressing himself but his actions were doing it for him.
Silence lingered between them. It was deafening but there were no awkwardness within it. It was just silent. Neither of them wanted to talk. Chanyeol was happy that Baekhyun did like it. But he thought the answer wasn't enough, he wanted more. He wasn't contented at the teacher's answer, he wanted to know more. But he didn't know how to ask the teacher, he don't know how to put the words into a sentence. He can't just say, he like him. It would probably change the growing friendship between them. And he didn't even know if it really was friendship that was growing within them.
"So," Baekhyun cleared his throat, he can't take the deafening silence, anymore, "Who did my job back there?"
Chanyeol was upset when Baekhyun changed the topic but he answered it anyway. "It was Mr. Camel-guy," he said nonchalantly. He didn't know what he said but when he realized what he just did, he quickly took it back, "I-I mean, Mr. Jongdae."
Baekhyun looked at him blankly but just can't help but to burst into laughters. A camel, seriously! He thought. He already had something to tease his friend. "Oh my God, A camel," he said, more like panted, before he burst again into roaring laughters.
Chanyeol was in awe in seeing Baekhyun laugh. His body moving with his laughter and his eyes forming into crescents with crinkles at its side. It was perfect, he was sure he could listen to the sound every day without even getting used to it. It was music to his ears.
When Baekhyun stopped laughing, he sighed for a while and wiped a tear that's about to fall in his left eye due to his excessive laughing. He noticed Chanyeol staring at him. He gave Chanyeol a confused look. There goes that stare again. He felt like melting when Chanyeol stares like that at him and he can't help but be diverted into his eyes who were intently staring at him. He knew he had to avoid it, because everytime his eyes met Chanyeol, he felt like he was about to explode and he just can't breathe normally.
He quickly avoided the gaze, fortunately for him, he did it. He just had to avoid it, this is school and they're on the clinic. Goodness, that's shameful for me as a teacher. It was better off when he was still a student. He was fre-
"Mr. Byun, I'll go now," Chanyeol excused. Baekhyun knitted his brows, he didn't want Chanyeol to leave him. "Not yet, stay here," he said in a soft tone but it was enough for Chanyeol to hear and so he smiled. He nodded simply but it was obvious that he was very happy. He grabbed a chair from somewhere and put it beside Baekhyun's bed so that he could sit near him.
"You wanted me to stay?" He said forgetting about those stupid formalities. Baekhyun nodded as he looked down, avoiding the latter's gaze on him. "Okay," Chanyeol sighed happily. Baekhyun was also happy that Chanyeol stayed for him but he can't help but to feel uneasy about this.
"Y-you still have class, you could go, Chanyeol. I'll be fine," he assured him. He also forgot about using formalities and he didn't care about those, right now. He wanted Chanyeol to stay so bad but he knew that Chanyeol still has classes and aside that, he knew that this is not good for him.
"No, Baekhyun. I'll be here," he said and held Baekhyun's hand, "With you," he added and smiled to Baekhyun.
With those words, Baekhyun suddenly felt safe and comforted, forgetting all the things reality awaits him. Baekhyun tightened his grip on Chanyeol's hand, never wanting to let go.
...
"Hey, Baekhyun," Chanyeol said for the nth time hoping Baekhyun would wake up already. He heard a moan escape from the latter making him thank the hits for waking him up already. "Umm.. Baekhyun, we need to go."
Baekhyun sat up and rubbed his eyes. Adorable. Chanyeol but snapped out of it immediately. Baekhyun sighed, "How long was I asleep."
Chanyeol shrugged. It was already dark outside when he woke up and the school nurse was already out when Baekhyun woke up, leaving the clinic to the boys. "Not too long," he lied. He didn't want Baekhyun to over think about it.
"Let's go?" He offered a hand to Baekhyun. The latter took it as he stood up from the bed. Both of them looked at each other's hands interlocked on each other, each lips forming a small smile. Suddenly, Baekhyun's phone tang making him quickly grab his hand and fish out his phone. He answered the call after looking at the caller.
A familiar tone greeted him sarcastically, "Hey, Baekhyun. What's up? Oh, the ceiling, huh? And maybe you could tell me... WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?"
Baekhyun flinched at the tone and groaned, "Don't you dare speak to me like that and I'm still on the school."
He heard a sigh from the other line, "Why are you still on school?"
"Don't you ask me like that like I just did something wrong. I got fainted, I slept for too long and that's it," he explained. Chanyeol suddenly sneezed and goddamn, the other line heard it. Not good. "Who are you with right now?" The other line said with a hint of suspicion.
He was nervous as hell but he had to calm down and get himself collected. "It's Chanyeol," he said casually and he was sure the other line was talking with someone else. He heard muffled noises and he don't know what are they talking about. In the meantime, he decided to check on Chanyeol. He looked at him, who was waiting for him patiently, he gave him a small smile before he looked away.
"Uhmm.. darling," the other line started and he was sure it was already his mom, "Are you okay? Are you fine? Anyway, why are you with that guy?" Her mom asked, the last words has some obvious suspicion in the tone.
He gulped. Be calm and casual. "He's the one who helped me out when I fainted. We should probably thank him." He looked at Chanyeol then, who was fiddling his phone already. Probably because of boredom. He suppressed a chuckle because of the guy's cuteness. Oh shit.
"Oh really, then invite him to dinner. That would probably be great because we would like to thank him too for being with you until now that it's already getting dark. An-," Baekhyun didn't let his mother finish off the sentence and interrupted, "Mom, it's already dark. His parents might be probably waiting for him and he's also going too."
Her mom sighed an 'okay' and bid her goodbye before the other line hung up. He groaned at his phone, "Fuck you." He looked at Chanyeol who was currently looking at him with eyes that were probably saying, 'I didn't know you curse like that'.
He shook his head and said, "Let's go." Chanyeol nodded and didn't say a word afterwards and went out through the clinic door, locking it after Baekhyun had already went out.
Both of them went outside the campus, the guard was shaking his head when he saw both of them. Goddamn, it's not the way as it looks. They finally reached outside and Baekhyun faced Chanyeol who was shivering from the coldness. He shook his head and started, "So, where do you go after this, Chanyeol?"
"Home," he said while rubbing his palms together. Baekhyun rolled his eyes, he was expecting a more specific answer and not just that. "Where exactly is your home? I'll ask my driver to take you there," Baekhyun offered.
Chanyeol shook his head, "It's not that late, Baek. I'll just take a cab." Baek? That sounded nice. He thought thinking it sounded different when Chanyeol say his little nickname.
"Okay," he said, "What are you waiting for? Take a cab."
"Not until your driver is already here," Chanyeol replied. Baekhyun just nodded slowly. It was his choice, not mine. But the truth is, he just wanted Chanyeol to stay a little longer. He didn't know what exactly was happening to him but he liked Chanyeol being with him, he feel happy, secured and just shitting out. He didn't know, he just don't.
...
Okay. I'll also felt like shitting out, right now. I can feel you, Baekhyun. Just tell me, peeps, what you feel about this chappy or you could keep those to yourselves, either of the both, you guys are still awesome for reading this stowie.
Bye creeps~~
