Baekhyun's POV

We spent the next few hours playing video games non stop.

This is what I needed. To get lost in a fantasy world and forget about my problems.

Chanyeol was actually good company but a sore loser. But I didn't blame him because I had literally beaten him in every single game.

Whether it was a fighting game, racing or even strategy. I had even beaten his record on another game.

Yes I am the master gamer.

"Lets stop here" he said standing up from his spot on the couch and heading to the kitchen. 

"Are you tired of getting your butt kicked" I said laughing.

"I was going easy on you" he said with a frown that just made him look adorable combined with his big ears.

He reminded me of dumbo. I loved that children's book. Good times. Before I grew into responsibilities and drama.

"Thank you" I said as I accepted the glass of apple juice he brought me.

We didn't just play but we actually talked here and there. I had to admit he wasn't as bad as I thought.

He sat down and selected a random movie channel as we sat in silence.

"So are you ready to tell me what's bothering you?" He asked.

"Why oh why did you burst my bubble of happiness by reminding me of my problems?" I said dramatically as I raised my hands in the air which just make him laugh.

I got a funny feeling in my tummy from his laugh and smile but I brushed it off.

Maybe I should have eaten something before having juice. It's probably just my digestive system being funny.

"I'm sorry Baekhyun but you can't run away from your problems forever. Talking might help you feel better. I won't judge you considering this is the first time we have had a real conversation"  he said and it made sense.

"Fine" I said as I figured it wouldn't hurt to talk about it.

"Soooo... basically I'm dating this guy" I paused for a moment to see if he would have a problem with the fact that I'm dating a guy but he encouraged me to go on and I felt relieved.

"He is very a very handsome and captain of the schools basketball team which I just recently joined. He is a cool guy" I said with a smile thinking about my boyfriend.

"Things seem to be going well" he said.

"Yes. But...there's another guy. He is really tall and a really creative and charming guy. I think he is really cool and we kind of clicked from day one" I said.

"Then why aren't you with this other guy? He seems pretty cool. You seem to have strong feelings for him.
" he asked

"I do. But he is a player and I'm not about that kind of drama" I confessed.

This was the first time I admitted my feelings for Kris. It felt good but reality sucked because he would never be serious about me.

"But that's not why you almost killed yourself today" he said and I glared at him. I was absent minded but it didn't mean I was trying to kill myself. He just smiled and I rolled my eyes.

"I have been avoiding the other guy but he cornered me today. My boyfriend  didn't like it, they argued, they fought" I explained.

"Let me guess. You're dating Kai and the other guy is Kris?" He asked.

"HOW DID YOU KNOW?" I asked in shock.

"They are the only two people I know who can cause so much drama. Anyway we kind of have a history"  he said with a smirk.

" Which is..."

"Not important. Let's just focus on your dilemma"  he cut me off.

"Kris like to start trouble. Just stay away from him and make it clear you're not interested" he advised.

"That's hard considering we are partners in music club for the upcoming musical. Not only that Kris is very persistent" I said with a frown.

" He never changes" Chanyeol said shaking his head side to side.

"You're in a tight situation. Just make it clear to Kris that it will never happen and reassure Kai that he is the only one you want. Let things sort themselves out from there" he said and I hoped it would work.

"Thanks Chanyeol. It's getting pretty late. What time do your parents get home?" I asked.

"I live alone" he said shocking me.

"Aren't you 17 like me?" I asked.

"I'm 18 but I still live alone" he said.

"Okay" I said before taking a deep breathe, "I can't believe I have opened up so much to a stranger" I said.

"Ouch. After all we have been through" he said dramatically holding his heart. I just rolled my eyes.

"Give me a ride home and maybe I will consider you as a friend" I said standing up.

"Okay beautiful. Anything you want" he said with a smirk and by the time I threw the sofa cushion at him he had rushed to the next room to get his keys safely away from hard.

"Idiot" I mumbled before smiling.

Maybe he isn't that much of an arrogant asswipe.
