Heesung POV

After hanging out with the boys for a while you noticed that you were beginning to get tired.

“What time is it?” You asked and Lay who was closest to you answered.

“Almost midnight, why?”

You shook your head. “Just wondering. Oppa isn’t home yet.” Lay nodded.

“He texted me a while before saying that he had a meeting with the staff.” Daehyun said and walked in the living room with a bowl of chips. God damn, he finished another bag of chips?!

Nodding you got up from the floor where you had sat with Zelo and Tao who were playing a game on your Samsung tablet. Everyone had somewhat calmed down now since it was getting a bit late. You found out that the boys are sleeping over like they usually do from time to time.

Jongup and Chen were now peacefully chatting on the floor after god knows how long. Xiumin and Daehyun was busy eating behind the armchair talking about this new restaurant opening in the mall. Youngjae said that he was on the last episode of his drama and Lay got caught on it too, him now watching it on his laptop. Luhan had gone up to his room and fallen asleep a few hours ago since he kind off passed out on the couch before so Kris had too carry him up. Speaking of the angry bird. Kris was in the kitchen probably making a sandwich so you decided too go to him.

The two maknaes didn’t even notice you sneaking away since they were so concentrated on their game.

Peeking in to the kitchen you saw the tall man leaning with his back on the counter scrolling through his phone. You saw a plate with a half eaten sandwich on and a cup of warm coffee beside it on the counter.

“Kris?” You called out softly. He quickly looked up and placed his phone back in his back pocket. “Yeah?”

“I’m going to bed.” He nodded and took a sip from his coffee. “Ok, your brother said that he’s coming home kind off late.”

You nodded before you headed up the stairs and into your room. Closing the door behind you, you went straight to your shower and prepared the warm water.

After your shower you walked out of your bathroom wrapped in a towel and was busy wrapping your long hair in a towel as well. Once you flipped our head up making sure your hair was tucked in nicely you let out a soft chuckle at the sight in front of you.

A huge mattress wrapped in a blue bed sheet covered your floor. And on that mattress two giant maknaes looked up at you with wide eyes.

“Annyeong noona!” Zelo greeted but quickly turned away with flushed cheeks once he saw that you were just wrapped in a towel.

“Hey, Zelo. You two mind if you go out first so I can get dressed?” You asked and turned to your closet opening it.

The two ran out of your room closing it behind them leaving you chuckling to yourself. Aigoo, those two. You were used to them sneaking in like that, managing to bring in a huge king sized mattress without you noticing. This wasn’t the first time it’s happened and every single time they manage is when you’re in the shower. Which maybe was why you didn’t hear them bring it in your room. You’ve always wondered how they made it fit through your door though.

You chose a pair of old training shorts and a loose t-shirt as your pajamas tonight. Keeping the towel wrapped around your head you brought out a pair of pillows and two duvets from your drawer, throwing it on the mattress. The two should be back any minute now.

You saw there on your bed rubbing lotion all over your right leg when your door opened and two shirtless maknaes walked in with only a pair of sweat pants on.

“Annyeong noona.” Zelo greeted you once more and jumped down on the thick mattress.

“Annyeong.” Tao took a seat beside Zelo.

“Hey guys.” You smiled and then continued rubbing lotion on your other leg. “Has the others gone to sleep?” You asked.

Zelo shook his head. “I think Kris-hyung is still awake.”

“The others have passed out.” Tao continued but then wrinkled his eyebrows. “Youngjae-ge…”

“Oh, yeah! Youngjae-hyung is still downstairs with Lay-hyung. It seems like they both have started watching this drama together.”

Tao nodded and helped you put back your bottle of lotion on your nightstand. Nodding you chuckled. “Ah, I’m not surprised.”

Zelo grabbed a pillow and hugged it close to him while he scooted closer to your bed, so did Tao.

“So noona.” Zelo started and leaned his chin on the edge of your bed looking up, looking like the most adorable puppy ever. Didn’t help that his blonde hair was all messy either.

“Yes, Zelo?” You started unwrapping the towel around your head, ruffling your long damp hair between your fingers.

“How are you?” He asked and blinked.

“I’m fine. I just didn’t feel well this morning.” You laid your long hair behind your back while Tao freely hung your towel back in the bathroom before taking his seat again by your bed.

“You feel better now right noona?” Tao asked and leaned his cheek on the edge of your bed and smiled. You nodded and ruffled his dark hair before ruffling Zelos’blonde hair with your other hand. “Of course I do! I have the two best maknaes in the world with me here that lightens up my mood!”

The two grinned widely. “But you’re going to school tomorrow right?” Tao asked and you nodded earning a pout from both. Giggling you asked. “Why?”

“I wanted to wake up at the same time with noona.” Zelo answered.

“But it’s soon weekend isn’t it?” You stated and smiled. The two nodded. “And that means you two can wake up with me then, ok?”

The young boys nodded happily before Zelo let out a big yawn, Tao following right after. “Aigoo, you two are getting tired. Go to sleep now.” You said and lightly pushed their heads away from your bed.

Zelo tiredly rubbed his eyes before asking. “Noona, why do you pretend in school?”

You sighed before you answered. All of you had gone through this many times before and yet they keep asking. “You know why, Zelo-ah.”

“But wouldn’t they like noona more if you didn’t pretend?” Tao asked and laid down on his back looking up at you with tired eyes.

“Tao, I know they wouldn’t.” You answered while pulling a duvet over his body.

“But…” Zelo let out another yawn. “Isn’t it quite tiring now?” His eyes shut closed once his head met with the soft pillow.

You nodded even though you knew he couldn’t see you. “A bit. But I can handle it.”

“No matter what happens…” Tao yawned and turned over to the side. “We’ll help you if you’re in trouble…” He sleepily said.

“Yeah, we’ll help noona with anything!” Zelo added before the room filled with their light snores.

Smiling to yourself you watched over them for a while before turning your bed light off, tucking yourself in bed.

You woke up the next day once you heard the birds outside your window chirping. Groaning you got up slowly and stretched your arms up high letting out a yawn. You turned to your floor and saw the two maknaes still sleeping peacefully but you couldn’t help but let a small chuckle escape from your lips.

Tao had fallen asleep with his arms and legs stretched out and the duvet was only convering his lower half. Zelo had his arm and leg thrown over the older boys body while his head rested on his chest. Now that’s a pose… You snuck out of bed and grabbed your phone, snapping a picture of the two before heading out your room as quietly as you could.

It was still early and you knew that everyone was still asleep. Sneaking down the stairs you checked the living room and wasn’t surprised with what you saw.

Youngjae was leaning his head on Lays shoulder while the other leaned his head on his. Lays computer was lying on the sofa table, dead. It probably ran out of battery last night after they passed out. Snapping a picture of those two too you chuckled and headed to the kitchen.

Your breakfast consisted of a bowl of cereal, an apple and a glass of water. You sat there and ate in peace before you stopped chewing. Your right ear perked up as you heard a door upstairs open slowly before it closed with a soft click. Tip toeing steps were heard coming from upstairs and now they were headed down the stairs, the person trying to be as quiet as he could be. Then suddenly a wild Luhan appeared in the kitchen in only a wife beater and a pair of sweat pants.

“Ah, good morning Heesung.” He greeted you and smiled, still tired.

“Morning oppa. What are you doing up so early?” You asked and saw that it was barely past seven. Luhan took out a bowl as well and took a seat in front of you on the island in the kitchen.

“Was planning to go out for a jog.” He answered and poured milk in his bowl. “You’re heading to school today?”

You nodded and chuckled once you saw him ruffling his honey colored hair making it stick out more than it did before. After finishing your cereal and glass of water you placed them in the sink and threw the rest of the apple in the garbage bin.

“I’ll go get dressed.” You said before heading up the stairs and Luhan tiredly nodded.

Slowly opening your room, you peeked in and found an empty mattress on the floor. Your eyes wandered up to your bed before you let out a small smile.

You were already seated in the classroom when the others started walking in. As usual you had your usual look on. Inwardly sighing you just wish this day would end as quickly as possible. The class was filled with the conversations and laughter from everyone else, as usual you didn’t care what everyone else were talking about so you continued looking out the window, patiently waiting for the teacher to walk in.

That was when your ears perked up. Through everyone’s conversations you heard a pair of footsteps that hurried towards you. And you didn’t even need to guess who they belonged too. The footsteps had stopped once they had reached the desk beside you and you heard the chair being pulled out. That was when you turned around and met a happy Baekhyun.

“Annyeong, Heesung-shi!” He greeted you and bowed his head. Baekhyun couldn’t hide the smile that appeared on his face once he walked in and saw you sitting on your usual seat. Even though you only had been gone for one day, it felt much longer for the boy if he had to admit.

He got tired of all the girls trying to make him sit with them and how they literally stalked him during the breaks. He had escaped to the library to where they had sat the day before and tried to go through what she had taught him. It didn’t go to well he re called.

“Were you sick, Heesung-shi?” He asked turned your way, leaning an elbow on the table.

You simply nodded and before you had time to turn back to the window he asked another question. “Are you feeling better?”

Nodding again you inwardly cursed at him. Why does he even care? You thought and eyed him through your glasses. He blinked once before a small smile appeared on his lips. “That’s great!” He said while nodded.

That was when the teacher had walked in and turned to the class. “Ok, everyone. Read through pages thirty five to fifty six!” He said before he turned his back on the class and started writing something on the black board.

You mentally thanked the teacher before flipping to the page he had said. You noticed that Baekhyun kept glancing at you in the corner of your eye and you had the urge to just make him face his book instead.

You were the first one done reading the pages, as usual, you’ve always been a fast reader. Before you turned to the window again you saw that three girls that sat in the front were looking back to you where you sat giving you dirty stares. Rolling your eyes you pretended not to notice them and faced the windows again.

After a few minutes everyone had finally finished reading and the teacher continued on with the class. The three girls in the front kept looking back and gave you dirty looks and you could only guess why.

Baekhyun had also noticed the three girls stares and every time he got eye contact with any of them, their creepy gazes quickly turned into obvious fake smiles, which made him shudder.

A few minutes had passed since the teacher had given the class assignments to do, after that he sat down by his desk in the front and looked through a pile of papers. Baekhyun took this chance and slowly leaned closer to you who were trying to finish this as fast as possible.

“Hey, Heesung.” He whispered and you slightly jumped when his warm breath hit your cheek.

You faced him and waited for him to continue. Ugh, what now? All you wanted was to finish this assignment first as you usually did so you could patiently wait until class ended by looking out the window.

“Have you noticed that those three girls in the front keep looking back here?” He asked and you mentally face palmed.

“So?” You simply answered not caring about those three girls and continued to write down answers on the paper in front of you.

“I find it somewhat creepy…” His sentence was cut short when the teacher suddenly stood up and gathered everyone’s attention.

You spent the rest of the class staring out the window like you usually did and just waited until it ended. When you heard him announce that class had ended you grabbed your books and hurried out the door past Baekhyun who hadn’t even gotten out of his seat.

You felt more relaxed when you had reached your locker and returned your books. Right now your biggest concern was those three girls that kept staring at you during class. You knew exactly why too. You remembered them from when Baekhyun had caused a scene in front of everyone in school; those three were there and saw everything.

“Heesung?” You heard a very familiar voice call out and you turned to your right and saw Baekhyuns head peaking out from the corner. His eyes rounded and he quickly stepped out in panic. “Ah! I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to follow you again! I’m so sorry! Please forgive me!” He started apologizing and bowed over and over again.

You just stared in confusion. You didn’t even hear his steps behind you. Your mind was occupied with those three girls because you had a feeling that they were up too something and you could only guess what.

“Baekhyun?” You said and he looked up but kept his 90-degree bowing position.

“I’m so sorry! I promise not to follow you again!” He faced down once more and all you wanted to do right there was kick his face up.

Letting out an irritated groan you leaned your shoulder on your locker and stared at the boy. “Stop bowing. I’ve already told you once too stop apologizing too.”

He hesitated at first but slowly got up and blinked. “Are you mad or annoyed?” He asked and gulped.

“Annoyed.”

He slowly nodded and started fiddling with his fingers. , Baekhyun you stupid-! Baekhyun kept cursing at himself in his head. He didn’t mean to follow you again but he couldn’t help running after you right after class ended.

“I just wanted to know if you are feeling better… Since you weren’t here yesterday.” He said and kept his eyes on the floor.

“I feel fine. Don’t worry about me.” You opened your locker again and got your books for the next class.

“Ah, but I was wondering if-“ Baekhyun wanted to ask if you could help him to catch up in a few subjects but he didn’t dare too since he didn’t know if you were still annoyed with him from the last time.

You stopped in front of him and waited for him to continue but all he did was shake his head flashed a shy smile. “Nevermind!”

“We should hurry to the next class.” You stated and walked past him heading down the hall.

During the entire class Baekhyun couldn’t help but keep glancing at you. He needed help if he wanted to pass the subjects and catch up and he didn’t want anyone else too help him but you. But he still didn’t dare to ask since he didn’t want to make you more annoyed, if you were annoyed that is, he didn’t know himself but he didn’t want to push it.

Of course you had noticed his glances but decided to pretend you didn’t like you usually did. But something else bothered you through out the whole class. Those three girls had moved their seats towards the middle, closer to the back as if they were trying to get closer to your seat. They kept turning back from time to time towards your seat and you grew annoyed. You knew that they were up to something so you knew that you had to keep your guard up for the next few days.

You threw a quick glance at Baekhyun who was currently looking down in the thick book In front of him with furrowed eyebrows. He was concentrating a lot trying to understand the chapter the teacher told you to read and study about.

You had to find the answers in two different chapters and write down the answers on the paper booklet the teacher had given out. You also had to find what was the most important in a few parts and write it down in a brief explanation. But Baekhyun didn’t understand anything and he was panicking inside. He wanted to ask you for help right there and then but he didn’t dare too. Too. Many. Hard. Words! He complained in his head and he bit his lower lip that didn’t want to stop trembling. The boy hated being stupid and a slow learner.

He looked at his blank paper booklet where he hadn’t even written anything on yet and then glanced at yours. His eyes widened in shock once again when he saw you that you were working on the last page that was filled with answers and long sentences. You were writing down the last question and he was even more surprised that you didn’t even have the book open on the pages you were supposed to read.

He watched in awe as you finished writing down the last sentence then closed the booklet placing it neatly close to your book. He didn’t even notice that his jaw had dropped before you lightly shook your hand in front of your face.

Of course you had seen him stare at you while you were writing down the last answer. You didn’t even need to open the book since you already knew the answers to the questions the teacher had given you. Your class had worked with this subject in the last term and you remembered everything you had learned back then. The only thing was that this was a tad harder than last term but you didn’t have any difficulties since you had asked your brother and Youngjae for help. The two had explained a lot more than what you needed to know last term but you didn’t mind since you knew that you were going to need all that information one day, which was today.

It seemed that Baekhyuns class didn’t work with this subject from the last semester since you saw a few of his classmates talking to a few of yours. You heard them ask about what this subject was about; answers for question four and seven and why the hell it was difficult.

Every seat pair was sitting and working together during the whole class except you and Baekhyun. He was sitting there staring at his blank paper booklet with a sulky expression.

The class headed towards its end and the teacher said that those who haven’t come far have to work at home or ask a friend to help. He was going to collect them next week and announced it was a homework, which made half the class groan in frustration.

You jumped out of your seat and headed towards the door but when you felt a hand wrap around your wrist preventing you from leaving the room.

Your heart stopped for a moment and your eyes widened when you turned around and saw whom the hand belonged too.

Baekhyuns eyes were filled with so much confidence that it looked like the annoying boy in him had disappeared. Thank fully everyone had left the classroom in a hurry to get good seats in the cafeteria since it’s delicious food today.

“I have a question…” He said with a determined voice. Your eyes were still widened behind your glasses as you waited for him to continue.

“Uhm, I wanted to ask you this earlier but I got scared…” He started and slowly let go of your wrist and nervously scratched the back of his neck.

 

“So you got nervous about asking if I still wanted to help you?” You asked once you two had sat down in the library were you had been sitting before.

He nodded and took a seat in front of you placing his books on the table together with yours.

“I just thought that you’d still be mad at me-“

“For the last time I wasn’t mad!” It irritated you that no matter how many times you’ve told him that you weren’t mad he still thought you were. “You’d notice if I was mad…” You mumbled and leaned back in your seat.

He stared at you for a while before he blinked and placed the paper booklet from the last lesson in front of him. “I have another question.” He said and looked at you again blinking.

You rolled your eyes behind your glasses and sighed. “What now?”

Baekhyun gulped. He was still slightly embarrassed after what he did in the classroom, grabbing your wrist and all. He honestly didn’t know why he did that. Once he saw you jump out of your seat like everyone else his body just moved on it’s own, stopping you from leaving.

That was when he decided that he was going to ask you if you could still help him with his school subjects.

The boy looked down at his booklet. “How come you work so fast? Like this morning you didn’t even have your book up when you were writing down the answers. And before when you finished this whole thing in fifteen-twenty minutes!” He had furrowed his eyebrows in confusion and wonder when he looked at you with a tilted head.

“We had already learned about this from last semester so I remembered everything even though this was a tad harder than the other one.”

“How’d you remember all this?” He frowned at the booklet in front of him.

Shrugging your shoulders you leaned forward, placing your elbows on the table. “How about you open up that book and read through the first chapter?” You suggested, ignoring his question. He immediately did what you told him and flipped to the chapter in the thick book and started reading with furrowed eyebrows.

You watched him as he concentrated on reading in the book thoroughly, how he kept biting his lip in confusion every time he came across a difficult word or how he scratched the back of his head every time he turned to the next page.

If you had to be honest, you were quite shocked back then in the classroom. Right after he had asked if you were still going to help him you noticed how his body slightly trembled. As if he was afraid that you’d say no. It made you somewhat confused that it took him that much courage to just ask for help. Though he did think that you were still mad, which you actually weren’t in the first place.

Once you agreed on continuing to help him, the sudden ‘manliness’ and determination in his eyes disappeared and he turned back to the awkwardly annoying boy he was in the very first beginning. He had begun stuttering and he had this slight blush that appeared on his cheeks.

He was so happy that he wanted to study right away, willing to skip the delicious food that was being served today in the cafeteria. It seemed like he was frustrated with this booklet that had to be turned in next week.

“Heesung, I’m done.” He stated and looked up from the book.

“With the first chapter?” He nodded and leaned back in his seat, tiredness written all over his face. “Too many hard words…”

“You never learned this last semester did you?” He shook his head.

“Our teacher was on leave quite often leaving us with a stupid substitute that just sat there and didn’t give a damn.” He frowned. “Now I have a lot too catch up with.”

Nodding, you understood his problem. “Now look at the first question and try to look for the answer on the first page of the chapter. Basically the first few answers are in order.” He nodded and mumbled the first question to himself before reading the first page on the chapter once more.

“I’ll be back.” You said and got out of your seat. He looked up and blinked. “Where’re you going?”

“I forgot something in my locker.” You lied. “When I come back I want an answer for the first question.” He nodded.

“Yes, ma’am!” He saluted before he turned back to the book and re read the first page.

Shaking your head you disappeared in between the tall bookshelves, then out the door.

You lied when you said that you forgot something in your locker. Right now you were standing in front of a vending machine and looked through the different kinds of snacks in there. You couldn’t help but feel bad that he was willing to skip lunch just because he wanted to study. You never really are lunch in school so you didn’t mind as usual, but you knew that he always ate. It didn’t feel any better that your class had free period after lunch, which he knew too, and you knew that he’d get hungry in the next few hours.

Choosing two bottles of water and a few bags of different kinds of snacks you walked back to the library with your arms filled. Thankfully, the hallways were empty so you walked back with ease. Your mind was filled with different kinds of questions. What if Baekhyun is a bit different than the others? What if he really didn’t like that the girls in school followed him around? What if all of them were a bit different than how they acted in school and outside? Thoughts and doubts filled your head when you walked in too the library and through the bookshelves.

Baekhyun was still sitting there reading in the book, but now on the other page. While placing the water bottles and snacks on the table he looked up.

“Oh, you’re back! I just started on the second question!” He said with a big grin on his face.

“Good for you.” You replied and sat back down. His eyes then found the snacks that lay between the two of you.

“What’s this?” He asked and picked up a bag of shrimp flavored chips. You noticed how he gulped when he saw it.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t have much with me today.” You said and leaned back in your seat holding onto your water bottle. “We have free period after lunch and you skipped it because you want to study. I don’t want you starving to death in front of me.”

He looked at you with big eyes before he broke out in a huge happy grin. “Thanks! I appreciate it!” He ripped opened the bag of chips and took a few in his mouth before he offered you some, which you declined.

“I’ve never seen you eat in the cafeteria before.” He said after he swallowed.

“Because I never eat in the cafeteria.”

He nodded, not answering anymore questions and continued to munch on the chips from the bag. While he was eating I took his paper and read his answer.

“Was it right?” He asked and took a sip of water from his bottle.

You nodded slowly. He actually got it correct. It wasn’t as well written to be precise but it would pass for the teacher. If he had written more evolved he’d get a higher grade.

“Really? Yes!” He grinned and took his paper back. “It’s free period after lunch right?”

You nodded and took out your notebook to doodle a bit. “Do you think you could…” He started and scratched the back of his head.

“What?”

“Sit here and help me then?” He asked and gave a nervous crooked smile. “I mean… If you don’t have anything else to do… You don’t have to if you don’t want too!”

“Sure, I have nothing better for me anyway.” You started doodling on a page in your notebook. It wasn’t really a lie. You didn’t have anything to do anyways. If you were alone right now you’d usually sit here and read too pass time.

“Whaa, thank you!” He smiled then continued to read in the book.

You two sat there in silence during the whole time. He did ask a few questions from time to time and asked you to review them for him. You’d correct him in a few parts and told him to read through the paragraphs again more thoroughly. He did and when he thought about it for a while he noticed that you were right.

He had eaten most of the snacks himself and kept telling you to take some but you kept declining. You weren’t really that hungry anyway, you were planning to go visit your brothers’ café after school anyways. You told him that it was better if he ate since you could hear his stomach growling. He had gotten quite far to be honest. He was already on the third page of the booklet. After he answered the last question on the third page he took a break.

“Hey, this wasn’t as bad as I thought it was!” He breathed out and leaned back in his seat.

You didn’t answer and continued doodling on a new page in your notebook. Baekhyun pouted. You only answered when he needed help with a question; otherwise you just sat there and doodled. Most of the time it felt like he was talking to himself.

After another few minutes of silence Baekhyun sighed and leaned forward, leaning his forearms on the table.

“Heesung?” He asked and you looked up. Baekhyun hesitated to ask you this but he knew he had too. The worst answer he could get was a ‘no’, which he thinks he’ll get.

“What is it?” You let out an annoyed sigh as you waited for him to continue. Baekhyun had his eyebrows furrowed for a while before they relaxed and the look in his eyes had changed, the same look he had before in the classroom. What does he want now? You thought as you still waited. Baekhyun had taken a deep breath before he leaned slightly forward. His voice was filled with determination with a slight tone of hesitation.

 

You stared at him for a while after he had asked you to be his tutor. Questions had filled your mind when he asked. Is he serious now? Why? Why, me? What does he want? Is he after something else? Is this about the bet? Did Kai ask him to do this? Is he stupid?

“Heesung?” Baekhyun asked and tilted his head. You hadn’t said anything and kept Baekhyun waiting.

“Ah, so that’s a no?” He nervously chuckled before leaning back in his seat with a slouched position. “I kind of figured that you’d say no anyway…” He mumbled to himself and started fiddling with his fingers like he usually does. “I mean. Why would you say yes anyway? I bet you have other stuff to do during your free time.” He kept talking to himself, or so he thought, you were just a bit taken a back from is question but that didn’t mean you turned deaf or anything.

“Why?” You asked after a while, startling the boy.

“Ah, uhm… Well.” He sat up straight. “I have quite a lot to catch up on in your class and I thought that you’d be able to help me…”

“Why, me?”

“Because…” He felt his cheeks heat up and he quickly looked down on his knees where he kept fiddling with his fingers. “I feel the most comfortable with you…” He mumbled.

“What?” You asked and leaned closer. You had heard him but you needed to make sure you weren’t just hearing things.

He looked up and faced you with blushed cheeks. “Because I feel the most comfortable with you!”

Blinking you tilted your head in confusion. Baekhyun took that as a sign for wanting more explanation.

“I don’t really like the other girls in class… They’re creepy and if I’d ask them for help, it wouldn’t help me at all. They’d just see it as a chance to hang out with me during my free time.” He said and a slight frown appeared on his lips.

“And why me?” You asked again wanting more explanation.

“Like I said. I feel the most comfortable with you. I think you’re the only girl that actually is… Normal.” This time he tilted his head and blinked thinking if ‘normal’ was the right word. “Yeah, normal!” He grinned and nodded to himself when he decided that ‘normal’ was the right word.

Now that took you a back again. Normal? Really? It was the first time you have heard that you were ‘normal’ during your whole time in this school.

“Normal?” You asked and Baekhyuns eyes widened. “Ah, I didn’t mean anything bad!” He shook his hands in front of him. “I meant that… You aren’t like the other creepy girls!”

“Creepy girls?”

“Yeah! Like those I told you about. They keep following me around school and keep trying to act cute when my friends and I are around.” He frowned once more. “To be honest, my friends and I find it annoying.”

“Annoying? I thought you guys loved being swarmed by girls all the time.” You said and closed your notebook and placed your pencil on top of it.

He shook his head. “No, no, no! I don’t. As I said I find it irritating… The ones who really enjoy it are Chanyeol and Kai. The rest of us find it creepy. Our maknae, Sehun, he hates it. Like for real. He’s terrified of the girls in school, he told us that he feels harassed.”

“Oh really?” You tried holding back a chuckle. It seems like these guys were way different in reality than they were in school. Which you somewhat noticed when you had met up with them outside of school as Hyorin. Chanyeol and Kai were the only ones that acted the same in and outside of school.

Baekhyun nodded. “I feel like I can raise my grades and catch up if you tutor me.” He said and you raised a surprised eyebrow. “And I also…” He looked down on his knees again when he felt his cheeks heat up once more. “I also want too get to know you better.”

This time he didn’t mumble and he looked up with tinted cheeks and a serious look on his face. You were still pondering about if he was serious or not. You tried to find any signal from him that might indicate that he was lying or trying to lure you but you didn’t find any. Is he serious? Usually you’d notice right away if someone was lying or telling the truth but Baekhyun had been hard to read.

“Get to know me better?” You asked, keeping your head tilted. Baekhyun nodded, a shy smile appearing on his lips.

“I feel like we can be great friends in the future! And I actually think I’ll be staying in your class until we graduate so why not?” He smiled.

Friends? Become friends with Byun Baekhyun?

“Everytime we hang out with each other like this it feels like I’m talking to myself… So I want to get to know you better.” He repeated.

“I don’t think so Baekhyun.” You said and leaned back in your seat, crossing your arms across your chest.

“W-Why not?” He didn’t know why but when you said that he felt his chest tighten. He wouldn’t be lying if he said that he felt hurt.

“Because it wouldn’t work.” It felt like you were rejecting a confession from him or something.

“But… I…”

“Remember those girl that kept glaring our way in the classroom before?” You asked and he slowly nodded. “What about them?”

“They were glaring because you were sitting with me.”

“What? Why? That doesn’t make sense…”

“Yes, it does. You said that you thought the girls are creepy with they way they act around you right?” He nodded once more.

“They’re much more creepier when you’re not around.” He blinked confused.

“If you get anymore closer to me they’ll probably hurt me because of their jealousy.”

“Jealousy? They’ll hurt you because I want to befriend you?” You nodded.

“There’s a lot you don’t understand about the girls in this school Baekhyun. If you were to date a girl in this school the others will do anything to split you two up.”

Baekhyuns eyes widened. “What? That’s …” He couldn’t believe it. But there was something in what you were saying that just felt true.

“That’s why you shouldn’t befriend me.”

A sudden thought appeared in his head and he had to give it a shot.

“But what if we met secretly?” His tone sounded serious, no hint of hesitation.

“Secretly?”

He nodded. “I really want you to tutor me! And if we do it secretly no one will know right? They won’t be able to do anything! We can…. We can study at my place! Or-“

“Baekhyun...” You sighed and he pouted.

“But, please! I don’t want to be alone in class for the rest of my school years!” He whined.

“What about you start hanging out with the other guys in class?” You suggested. You tried to make him change his mind.

He shook his head. “I don’t really get along with the guys either. Only Chanyeol and the others but we don’t really have a similar schedule so I don’t see them that often during school.”

You were out of suggestion to be honest. And the look in his eyes said that he wasn’t going to give up until you accepted his request.

“You do know that if you hang out with me, one of the schools biggest nerds –“

Baekhyun interrupted you. “I don’t think you’re a nerd.” He said and looked at you with big eyes that showed no sign of joking or lying.

“You don’t?” Well that was a first too. He nodded.

“I think that you’re really nice, to be honest! Even though you are kind off cold and scary sometimes, ehehe…” He scratched the back of his head. “But I like hanging out with you. You seem like a really cool person!” He smiled.

You didn’t say anything since you were quite stunned with his little confession.

“Please?” He pleaded. “Be my friend and my tutooooorr?”

Hesitation overtook you. You didn’t find any signal from him that showed that he was lying. He was actually telling the truth much to your surprise.

“We can study at my house or yours! If that’s ok for you… And, and-“

“Baekhyun.”

“But please! I beg you! I really reallyyyy want to befriend you!” Ok, now he just sounded desperate. Which he somewhat was. If you really didn’t want to befriend him he’d rather be forever alone for than hang out with the others.

Sighing you thought about it for a while. You really didn’t want to get in trouble with the girls in school and the attention you’d get after this would be a pain in the .

“Secretly?” You asked and Baekhyun looked up with his eyes widened.

“That’d be hard in school though.” Baekhyun thought about it for a while when he knew that it was true. It’d be hard to not notice that you were going to tutor him if you now said yes.

Sighing once again you gave up trying to make him change his mind about this.

“Fine.”

Baekhyun blinked. Fine? Fine what? “You’re… You’re saying yes?” He was confused.

You didn’t say anything as you sat there and stared at him. Thinking over if it was really a good idea that you said yes.

Baekhyun grinned so that his eyes turned into crescent moons. “Really? Oh my… Thank you! Thank you!” He said and got up from his seat and bowed. “I really appreciate it!”

“Stop bowing!” You hissed, hoping that the librarian wouldn’t come and scold you two for being noisy.

He stopped immediately and sat back down. “I’m sorry, but I’m just happy right now.”

“Just because I agreed tutoring you?”

He nodded. “And…” His smile slightly faded away. “For becoming friends with me, I hope?”

“I still don’t get why you’d want to befriend me, but fine, sure whatever.”

His wide grin appeared once again. “I promise not to annoy you anymore!” He said and saluted in his seat.

“Our next class starts soon.” You stated and got up from your seat taking your notebook and throwing the trash from the snacks in a close by wastebasket. Baekhyun nodded and got up as well with his books.

And with that the two of you headed out of the library, bot heading separate ways to your lockers.

Baekhyun couldn’t stop grinning with glee on his way to his locker, earning odd stares from students who passed by. He couldn’t explain how happy he was and he didn’t even know why he was that happy.
