Chapter 8
Girl ProblemsSuho watched as Baekhyun pushed his food around on his plate, too nervous to eat, much to Chanyeol's annoyance. "So, where should we begin?" Suho asked, waiting for one of the two to offer an explanation for the atmosphere of late. Chanyeol remained silent, except for the sound of his fingers drumming on the table, his head resting in his other hand. Baekhyun sighed. He knew this was all down to him. He should be the first to apologise and explain. "Look, i'm sorry guys. Especially to you, Yeollie. The way i've been acting lately has been unforgiveable. I wouldn't blame you if you never spoke to me again. It's no excuse because we're all living life in the public eye but i've been really struggling lately with the lack of privacy and it's been getting me down."
