"I will fall in love with myself!"

Baekhyun said while spinning around and looking at himself in the mirror, he and his friends were dressed as girls because because of a challenge Luhan decided since they made fun of him because of how pretty he is that he looks like a girl

"Baek, you already love yourself"

Junmyeon pointed out making the short male giggle softly before they looked at Kyungsoo and Minseok

The baozi was blushing while trying to pull down the dress that reached his knees with his cheeks puffed mad at his dongsaengs.

Kyungsoo was in a whole another level, he was glaring at Luhan as if he will kill him at any moment but honestly he looked gorgeous with the long straight brown hair, all of them did. 

"Now, let's change because this skirt is really uncomfortable"

Said Tao the youngest one in the group as he tried to pull down his skirt which actually was shorter than Minseok's dress 

"Come on let's change then"

Junmyeon said but before he does anything his phone started ringing

"Hello?"

"Junmyeon dear can you please pick Yuri up from the mall?"

"Yeah sure I'll just..."

"Now"

Junmyeon also called Suho sighed and looked at his friends

"I'll get Yuri from the mall.Who wants to come?We don't have time to change by the way"

The guys looked at each other then Luhan smirked evilly

"Doesn't sound like a bad idea to me~ at least you may know what it feels like to be hit on by guys"

Luhan couldn't be happier to get his revenge after all those years

~~

The guys were nervous since they are walking around the mall dressed as girls, Yuri was trying not to laugh at her brother

"oppa,I mean, unnie, why are you all dressed like that?"

She asked while biting her bottom lip to hold back her laugh

"Yuri I already told you, it was just a game and because of you we didn't have time to change"

Before Yuri replies a handsome boy with plump lips and tanned skin walked over the group of 'girls', Yuri's eyes almost turned into hearts as she stared at the stranger

"Hey I'm Kai, and those are my friends"

Said the handsome stranger while pointing at the group of boys who followed him

"Do you ladies want to have coffee?"

Luhan was the only one mentally laughing at this situation since the rest were either surprised or annoyed

"Sorry we a-"

"Yes of course!"

Yuri interrupted her brother receiving glares from him and his friends which made her whisper in his ear

"I don't usually find hot guys around here this is my lucky day~ please oppa~"

Suho sighed then smiled softly at the guys and just nodded

Baekhyun shifted uncomfortably when he noticed the tall guy with Yoda like ears staring at him a big smile on his face

"Hi I'm Chanyeol,what's your name cutie?"

Baekhyun knew he couldn't tell his real name since it's a male's name so he used his crush's name

"Taeyeon"

The tall idiot smiled again

"Cute name Taeyeon-ah~"

Baekhyun flipped his hair, Divahyun taking over

"Marshmallow, do you mind giving me your name? If you do,I think Marshmallow is perfect for you too"

The guy with handsome cheekbones said to Minseok who was now blushing madly, he thought of a name quickly, his nickname in the group is Xiumin so he will go with...

"Mina"

"Mina? Cute,I'm Chen nice to meet ya"

To be honest this Chen was pretty handsome and his smile would probably give girls and Tao a heart attack, why Tao? He wasn't straight nor bi like the rest, which means he was the only gay in their group. Maybe this isn't only Yuri's lucky day

At the mention of Tao, this latter had his eyes fixed on the tall handsome guy who didn't seem Asian at all

"Staring is rude"

The handsome guy said making Tao look away quickly blushing

"Sorry"

He whispered softening his voice to sound like a girl's voice

"The name is Kris..."

The guy said suddenly making Tao look at him quickly 

"I-I'm Tina"

Tao said nervously receiving no reaction from Kris, it seems like the guy isn't interested in him...could he be gay?...someone like him? Nope no way

"Hey there hottie,I still didn't get your name"

Kai whispered in Kyungsoo's ear only to feel a sharp pain in his foot, the owl lookalike boy/girl stepped on it

"Ouch, playing hard to get huh? I like it"

Kai said only for Kyungsoo to shoot him a deadly glare when he tried to go closer to her after Luhan moved away (on purpose) wanting to see how will the deadly Kyungsoo deal with a flirty hot boy

Once the guys reached the caffee each four seated on a table, the tables were close to each other

Chen,Minseok,Chanyeol and Baekhyun

Kris,Tao,a poker face dude and Luhan

A half sleepy guy,Suho,Kai,Kyungsoo and Yuri

Once everyone ordered their drinks they started chatting...

At the first table,Chanyeol and Chen were staring at Xiumin and Baekhyun who tried to stay calm and focus on their drinks

"Are you sisters?"

Minseok looked at Chanyeol when he heard his question then pointed at Suho and Yuri

"They are, the rest of us are friends"

Chen nodded grinning even though Chanyeol was the one you asked

"Nice like us, we rarely come to the mall so I guess this is our lucky day"

Chen said with his eyes focused on the blushing Xiumin

In the second table the for guys were drinking quietly obviously none of them is interested in starting a conversation unlike the third table where Yuri was talking non-stop about herself not realizing Kai was actually busy staring at Kyungsoo drinking

"Oh my god those lips"

He said suddenly before his eyes widened when he realized that he said it out loud making Kyungsoo's face turn red just before he grabbed Kai's drink on poured it in its owner's head

"I'm not spending another second here with this ert"

When the five guys saw their friend leaving they got up at the same time

"Wait! Here! Call me!"

Chanyeol called after Baekhyun giving him his number before they leave so they will stay in contact. 

~~

The six guys and Yuri were back to Junmyeon's house, now they all changed and were sitting on the ground in a circle in the living room after Yuri went to her room

"I think our baby is in love"

Luhan joked when he noticed how Zitao was spacing out

"Yah from earth to Tao are you still here?"

Baekhyun waved his hand in front of the young Chinese boy who blinked then looked at them confused

"Guys,I really think he did fall in love"

Junmyeon said surprised making Tao's face and ears turn red

"Who is it Taozi?"

Baekhyun said excited like a little kid, instead of receiving answer from the Chinese boy Kyungsoo spoke

"It's that Kris guy right? I saw how you were staring at him,be careful Tao the guy didn't even seem interested in you"

"Maybe he is gay!"

Tao exclaimed surprising the rest,Kyungsoo gave him a serious look which meant he won't repeat what he said

"By the way, guys I got Chanyeol's number...he gave it to me when we were leaving"

Luhan smirked then jumped on the younger male hugging him

"Baekkie, why don't you call him? We can play with them for a while,After all they are the ones who came to us first"

For the first time, the buys couldn't agree more

~~

Weeks passed,the twelve guys were still in contact through Baekhyun and Chanyeol since they talked to each other everyday which made the guys come to the conclusion that Baekhyun fell for Chanyeol but doesn't want to admit

School finally started to Baekhyun's disliking

"Junmyeon hyung please! Can I be late for the class today? Your father is the headmaster it wouldn't be a problem"

Suho shook his head with his arms crossed

"Baekhyun this is the first day and you already want to be late?! I may have helped you last year but this won't happen again do you understand? Now go"

Baekhyun pouted then walked away dragging his feet forcefully obviously he doesn't want to go to class

Suho as usual went to his father's office to see if he needed anything from him before he goes to class

He knocked on the door a couple of times before walking in just to see his father talking to who seems like a new student

"Junmyeon! Good timing, Mr. Zhang is in the same classes as you do you mind taking him with you?"

"No of course not"

Suho smiled but his smile soon vanished when he saw who this guy was,the sleepy weirdo from the group of guys they met in the mall,but he thought his name was Lay!!

"Junmyeon are you okay?"

"Y-yeah, come on let's go to class before we are late"

Suho and Lay walked quietly in the hallway, the headmaster's son was praying the other didn't recognize him

"So your real name is Junmyeon?"

Suho gulped and stopped before looking at the Chinese guy who was in his age

"I was wondering what would your real name be like...you know...before we met in the mall I happened to pass by your group when I was alone and I heard your conversation with Yuri,I knew you are boys but when I saw the others having fun I decided not to tell them till you decide to do that yourself"

Junmyeon's eyes widened shocked from what he just has heard.  

"My name is Zhang Yixing but my friends call me Lay"

Junmyeon finally smiled and decided to introduce himself

"Kim Junmyeon, you can call me Suho"

Like that the two went to the class obviously getting along

~~

Luhan was in his class already staring out of the window not paying attention to the teacher who said they have a new student

"Mr.Oh please go to the desk next to Luhan"

Luhan pouted his lips when he heard his name but this didn't change his position

"Hi"

Luhan heard a strong yet soft voice from behind him so he looked at it's owner only to find himself face to face with a very handsome boy who surprisingly looked a bit like him, and familiar

"Luhan right? I'm Sehun"

Luhan eyed him for a moment then raised his eyebrows

"Did we meet before? You look familiar"

As if Sehun's doubts were confirmed he looked coldly at Luhan before saying something terrified the Chinese boy 

"We met in the mall few weeks ago"

Luhan's eyes widened, he finally remembered the boy with poker face! How could he forget him?!

"YOU?!"

The teacher glared at Luhan making him apologize then sit back down

"Are you here alone?! Are the rest here too?! Please don't be mad I lied! Don't black mail me please!"

Sehun lifted an eyebrow at Luhan's panic

"The whole class is here, other classes except Kris,why would I be mad?, and why would I black mail you?"

Luhan sighed in relief before his eyes widened

"Baekhyun!"

Sehun was confused so the Chinese male explained

"What if Baekhyun and Chanyeol met?! Your friend will know he is not a girl!"

"Wait...you mean you are all boys?"

Luhan nodded making Sehun's eyes widen in shock

"Kai..."

Luhan gasped remembering Kyungsoo too, but he worried about Baekhyun more since he knows this latter hold feelings for the tall male

"Baekhyun likes your Chanyeol! We can't let him know he is a guy!"

"Kai is interested in your owl, if he knew she is a he even I can't predict his reaction!".

The two stared at each other for a second then focused on the board deciding this is not the best time to talk about this

But little did Luhan know that Sehun wasn't 'straight' which is why he wasn't interested in Luhan before even though he saw him cute, but now that he knows Luhan is actually a boy he maybe or maybe not started growing feelings for the Chinese male

~~~

"I can't believe you did this on purpose Baekhyun hyung"

Kyungsoo said pouting slightly,Baekhyun didn't let him go to class so Junmyeon will have no other choice but to cover up for them since the poor owl like boy is a good student who never missed a class

Kyungsoo also called D.O was walking to the class with Baekhyun trying to stop him

"Byun Baekhyun I swear to god if you didn't step away I will break every single bone in your body and enjoy each second of it"

A shiver ran down Baekhyun's spine so he quickly moved away only to notice new faces in the classroom from the window

"Kyunggie...aren't those Chanyeol,Kai and Chen?"

He said with a pale face before he quickly searched for Xiumin since he is in the same class only to see him hiding under his desk waving to them hoping they will save him somehow, Minseok puts on make up most of time a lot of it which is why he is usually bullied at school and called gay even though he isn't, so if Chen and the guys saw him now they will just embarrass him more

Baekhyun bit his lip thinking before he saw the only person he talks to in the class besides his two friends, his crush Taeyeon

He gulped then knocked slightly on the window near Taeyeon catching her attention, usually he doesn't dare to talk to her but now he has no choice

He took his phone and texted her asking her to keep the new guys busy while Xiumin escapes with his backpack, she was confused but just did as she was told

Minseok took a deep breath once he was out of the classroom finally

"The guys from the mall moved to here! We are screwed! The cutie will hate me if he knew I'm a guy! The three of them are straight!".

He was supposed to be shocked that Minseok liked the guy called Chen but he didn't, he just focused on the last part...his eyes became glassy as he teared up his lips curved down

"Oh my god I mean..."

Xiumin regretted mentioning the three guys being straight in front of Baekhyun which made him cry, he broke his heart...

Baekhyun ran off his friends couldn't call him because they didn't want to catch the class's attention... Suddenly Kyungsoo realized something

"I know Baekhyun is bi but...what happened to his crush on Taeyeon noona?"

~~

Baekhyun ran to the storage room since none would be near that hallway at the moment, he locked himself up there and took the extra make up from his bag that he keeps for Xiumin in case he forgot his own

He took the mirror with his small shaky hands tears streaming down his face ruining his eyeliner which he can't live without 

Baekhyun stared at his tears and eyeliner stained face while thinking of what he should do next, should he keep acting or just tell Chanyeol the truth? They are in the same class after all so he will find out sooner or later

He dropped the mirror then took his phone and texted Chanyeol hesitating at first {I'm a guy not a girl} he texted the taller male then threw his phone on the ground and stepped on it crashing it before sitting on the ground crying his eyes out, he doesn't want to know Chanyeol's reaction, he doesn't want to know if the boy with Yoda like ears will be disgusted when he knows the truth, why? Because Baekhyun and Chanyeol were secretly meeting the past weeks, they were dating...

Chanyeol and Baekhyun weren't the only ones meeting secretly, Zitao and Kris who's real name was Wu Yifan were meeting secretly but not dating like the other two

Tao said he was sick so he didn't go to school, Kris didn't feel like going to school and he does whatever he wants...this was their plan to meet instead

Taoris (like what Tao liked to call himself and Kris) were in a park walking and chatting when Yifan suddenly stopped

"Tina,there is something I have to tell you"

Tao looked up at Kris knowing what will come next, his heart was beating so fast he thought it will jump out of his chest, his cheeks and ears already turned red

"I know we met only few weeks ago...I know we don't know much about each other but I couldn't help it...will you go out with me?"

Tao stared at Kris's eyea, hoping he won't be disappointed again like when the possibilities of Yifan not being gay got higher

"I'm a boy...". 

He said suddenly

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
Chanyeol was laughing at Chen's joke, this must be their lucky day,the first day at school and the teacher is absent 

"Taeyeon-ssi!"

He heard one of his classmates calling the blonde girl who was chatting with Jongin at the moment, he was surprised when he heard the name but soon shrugged it off it is normal for more than two people to have the same name

At the mention of his Taeyeon,he heard his phone's ringtone telling him he got a text

He pulled out his phone then blinked at the message he got, like if Jongdae and Jongin noticed his confusion they peeked to look at the message, Taeyeon being the curious cat she is did the same

"What does she mean?"

Chanyeol asked his friends only for Taeyeon to speak up

"Why are you using my name in Baek's number?"

Chanyeol and his two friends looked at the female confused so she explain 

"My name is Taeyeon, but this number is Byun Baekhyun's"

Chanyeol blinked for a moment taking all the information in

"Baekhyun? What is he like? Why would he use your name or dress as a girl?"

Jongdae asked shocking Taeyeon

"Dressed as a girl?!"

She asked with a low voice so the others in the class won't hear them

"Yeah, we met in the mall before, he was with his friends dressed as girls"

Taeyeon crossed her arms not understanding anything

"His friends as in Luhan? Kyungsoo? Tao? Xiumin?"

Silence...till Jongin spoke up

"A small girl with owl like eyes?"

Taeyeon looked at him now pretty annoyed

"That would be Do Kyungsoo the top student here"

Jongin's jaw dropped,that cutie was actually a boy?! Chen didn't bother to ask he knew Mina would also be a boy like the rest

"And about your other questions"she looked at Jongdae "he is the puppy of the class, cute, smart even though all what he does is skipping classes, and I have no idea why he would do that...except using my name, a couple of years ago I heard from my friend Tiffany that the boy has a crush on me,I decided not to show to him that I already know and wait till he confess. Honestly I'm afraid he will confess because I'll have to reject him, I'm pretty popular here so if he confessed to me he will be a target of bullying like his friend Minseok"

"Where is he? Didn't he come today?"

Chanyeol asked pouting slightly till she shook her head

"He was here moments ago,I guess I saw him in the hallway through the window"

She said not wanting to tell them about Baekhyun's request

Without hesitation Chanyeol got up and ran outside only to be followed by Kai and Chen to see something unexpected, D.O and Xiumin frozen staring at them with wide eyes,Kyungsoo's eyes looked like if they will pop out of his head 

Chanyeol walked to the two boys ignoring his friends' presence

"Where is Baekhyun?"

He asked sharply making Minseok point at the direction Byun ran off receiving glares from Kyungsoo

"So my little owl is actually a male not female?"

Jongin spoke darkly as he walked closed to D.O trapping him between him and the wall,the shorter male would have hit him already but suddenly he is scared

Minseok was looking down afraid of facing Chen who soon  grabbed his wrist and dragged him away so they can talk alone

Jongin put his hands on each side of Kyungsoo's head smirking darkly

"You chose the worst playboy to play with"

Kai moved his head closer to D.O's ear and whispered

"I'll make your life a living hell" ...

Minseok was looking away when Chen stopped walking and dragging him

"So YOU ARE a boy"

The baozi bit his bottom lip scared of what Jongdae would do next, only for his head to be turned towards this latter by him

"Face me when I'm talking with you, why didn't you tell me you aren't a girl?"

Xiumin parted his shaky lips to answer but nothing came out

Grabbing his puffy soft cheeks and pecking his lips Chen smiled slightly at the tomato face older male

"You are so cute making you hard to resist, I don't recall meeting ever a girl that made my heart a mess like what you did"

Xiumin stared at Chen for what seemed like forever before hugging him tightly

"Wow wow easy there! You've got some strong arms there hope you aren't the clingy type"

Once again Minseok pouted
.
"I'm clingy,they call me a koala"

Jongdae couldn't help but laugh at the shorter male yet older's adorableness

"I don't mind since it's you, now sweetie what's you name?I can't keep calling you Mina"

 " Kim Minseok, you can call me Xiumin"

Remembering what Taeyeon said Jongdae frowned slightly and ran his thumb on Xiumin's cheek

"They bully you here?"

Minseok was surprised, how would Chen know about this and he came to this school less than an hour ago?!

"Don't worry, from now on your knight in the shining armor is here to protect you"

Jongdae joked even though he was serious

"Hmm you mean my dragon, you look like a dragon more than a knight"

The boy with chubby cheeks said making the other one laugh

Chanyeol looked everywhere for Baekhyun but couldn't find him, but this didn't make him want to give up, he was going to start running around looking again till he heard sobs coming from the storage room, it was Baekhyun's voice...

He knocked softly on the door

"Dyo! Xiumin! Just go!"

He said between sobs so Chanyeol knocked again and again till the short male opened the door annoyed

"I said...Chanyeol?!"

The tall male ran his hand on Baekhyun's cheek brushing the tears away,the poor Baekhyun was too shocked to move

"I talked to Taeyeon noona, I know who you are Baekhyun and I still see you the same, my cute small puppy"

Baekhyun finally relaxed and smiled slightly before collapsing obviously the shock was enough to make him pass out, Chanyeol quickly caught him before he hit the ground and took him to the nurse's office 

~~

"Sorry for the bother"

Baekhyun whispered embarrassed making Chanyeol laugh 

"Don't worry about it, let me take you home. The nurse said you need to rest"

~~

Chanyeol parked his car in front of the boys' shared house

"Come on Yeollie, you brought me here and I know going back to school isn't an option to you"

Chanyeol laughed as he got out of the car smiling like an idiot

"You know me"

Chanbaek were laughing as they walked in the house before Baekhyun remembered the sick Zitao they left here

"Oh, Channie I need to check on Tao,Tina he said he didn't feel well this morning"

When realization hit him Chanyeol froze, he knew about Tao and Kris...he knew Kris will ask Tina out today...and he knows Kris is a big homophobic

"Taozi~ open up it's Baekkie"

Baekhyun cooed while knocking on the door of Tao's bedroom, when he received no answer he opened the door peeking inside only for his eyes to widen when he faced a horrifying view

"Tao!!"

He ran inside to the younger male followed by a confused Chanyeol

Zitao was wearing his black sweat pants only lying on the ground obviously passed out after what he did, the skin of the top half of his body was burnt and at the notice if the cleaning chemicals that belongs to Kyungsoo lying on the ground opened he used it

Chanyeol called an ambulance while Baekhyun went to Tao not knowing what to do, scared but trying not to panic

When they went to the hospital Chanyeol knew the puppy boy will break down at any moment but when?

They were in the waiting room when Junmyeon and the rest came after Baekhyun called them

"What happened?!"

Suho asked and once he heard it,Baekhyun broke down to become a crying mess in Chanyeol's arms

At that moment they all decided to stay quiet till the doctor came to them

"We did all what we can, he fine now and you can see him in few minutes"

They sighed in relief, even though Chanbaek are the only ones who knew what happened to Tao and how dangerous it is the others were more scared because they don't know what's wrong

When they walked into his room, they saw Tao giving a phone to the nurse before looking at them, his eyes widened when he saw the boys from the mall (except Kris)

"Long story Taozi, what's wrong? What happened?"

Suho asked when he saw how the younger's body was all bandaged

"I...tried to clean myself...I'm disgusting..."

Tao whispered the last part but they heart it, especially Chanyeol, loud and clear so he slipped outside to call Yifan

"Hello"

"Get your y here we are in the hospital with Tao"

"...what happened?...."

"I don't know! I'm not the one who called him disgusting and oh god don't know what else"

"Give him the phone"

"What?"

"Give him the freaking phone!!"

Chanyeol quickly walked back in and looked at Tao who was busy down the others

"Hey,It's Yifan"

Tao froze for a second before taking slowly and putting it on his ear

When he heard the sound of breathing Yifan knew it was Tao on the other line

"What did you do?"

"I...b-burnt my skin..."

"You know this won't change anything, you are disgusting as long as you like guys and not girls like any other normal person. So stop trying to play the role if a pathetic victim here because this is annoying"

Tao slowly handed the phone back to Chanyeol before smiling brokenly

"I made the right decision"

Before the guys ask whatever he meant burning his skin or something else two men dressed in black looking like bodyguards walked in

"Mr.Huang Zitao, you are free to go with us"

He knew this is against the rules of the hospital since he wasn't well enough to leave,he knew he will regret this later, he knew his friends may not forgive him for doing this but he couldn't help it

,"Taozi who are they?"

Baekhyun asked afraid what he was thinking if is true

"My father's men"

And shock washed over his friends

"You can't do this! He will kill you!!"

Minseok argued making the youngest Chinese male there shake his head

"No,I'll change...this is what they want..."

Before the guys could argue with Tao more to convince him to stay, the two men kicked them out of the room, another three men came to guard Tao's room till he leaves the hospital and obviously none their was able to stop them...

"What's wrong with Tao's father?"

Jongdae asked confused so the four friends looked at Luhan as if telling him to answer 

Luhan sighed then started telling them about how things were in China with Tao

"I was a friend with Taozi ever since childhood, when we were in middle school his parents divorced so he stayed with him mother and younger brother who passed away about a year ago. His mother fell into depression soon following her son which meant Taozi moved to live with his father. What the elder didn't know is that Tao was gay, his mother didn't mind this but his father...he was a whole another story...I remember Tao didn't come to school for months, his father was terrible he tried forcing girls on him and when it didn't work he started torturing him...when I was moving to Korea I had to say goodbye to my friend so I went to visit him and thanks god that I did! Taozi was trying to escape at the moment but he was too weak to do that so I helped him before we both came to here and met the rest...in short Tao's father is homophobic who happened to hate his son so he just used it as an excuse"_

Sehun frowned slightly, it really sounded bad, he didn't tell the guys he was gay because of Kris,him being an orphan spared him from the' family accepting this' problem, but Tao...

"And now I think we just lost our Taozi"

Baekhyun whispered with glassy eyes

Little did they know the call from before never ended and Yifan heard the whole conversation... He pitied the younger male but being himself he will just try to forget he even met him...
