Chapter twentyone; you could love me back

The next day…

In-na: *approaches Lara*

Lara: hey…

In-na: Hate me, Lara. Hate me!

Lara: *furrows her brows* Wh-why would I? *nervously shaking*

In-na: Because It’s my fault that you’re hurting.

Lara: No *shook her head*

In-na: Yes, because I know Baek likes me and it’s hurting you. It’s all my ing fault, you should just kill me or something

Lara: *sighs* No, it’s not your fault. Stop blaming yourself if you’re not really sorry. You guys look good together anyway, you probably confessed to him yesterday. He’s so happy that he didn’t go to school *walks away*

In-na: *grips on her wrist* WHAT?! What are you talking about? He is not the one I like. *shakes her head*

Lara: *her eyes widened* He’s not?? I thought—

In-na: no, no… it’s not him

Ahra: Hey Baekhyun!! *teases In-na, laughs and walks away*

In-na: *glares at Ahra* SHUT THE UP, ! *rolls her eyes*

Lara: *shakes her head in disappointment and walks off*

In-na: Lara… no!! it’s not… *sighs*

In the classroom…

Chaneyol was texting Baekhyun in kakao….

Chanyeol: Why are you not here right now?

Baekhyun: I don’t feel like it

Chanyeol: because of In-na or Lara?

Baekhyun: In-na -____-

Chanyeol: Are you serious that you still like her? I thought you are growing feelings for Lara

Baekhyun: I set them aside, Lara’s happy with Luhan

Chanyeol: Bitter…

Baekhyun: I’m broken either ways…

Chanyeol: because you’re an

Baekhyun: haha should I slit my wrist now?

Chanyeol: man,  lemme go there and hang you already

Baekhyun: I can’t let that happen, you’ll regret it brother

Chanyeol: no, not in a million years

Baekhyun: off hahaha

Chanyeol: you should have figured your feelings out before ‘Luhan’ happened

Baekhyun: Yeah, I’m so messed up. I’m pretty sad though

Chanyeol: Why is that?

Baekhyun: When Lara’s with others, she has this bubbly and innocent attitude and bright smile with her. But when I’m around her, she’s all silent and awkward

Chanyeol: If one of you would let your pride decrease a bit then it wouldn’t be that awkward jeez

Baekhyun: sorry, I have a pride issue

Chanyeol: if you do love her, you would lay low of that pride issue of yours

Baekhyun: heh.

Lara: *walks inside the classroom with a frown on her face*

Sojin: are you okay?

Lara: *shakes her head*

Sojin: aw why, dear?

Lara: *outbreaths* I… I’m worried

Sojin: What’s wrong?

Lara: In-na likes someone… if it’s Baekhyun, I would be shattered into pieces… If it’s someone else, Baekhyun would be depressed and cut again… and again *bangs her head on her dask*

Sojin: Question… one, Why are you so worried? Two, I thought you like Luhan so why would you shatter to pieces? And three, Why don’t you know who In-na likes?

Lara: I am worried because I’m… his friend. Yes I do like Luhan but… I still can’t get Baekhyun off of my mind. Every bit of him is attached to my soul. In-na and no one would tell me. It gives me a hunch that In-na does like Baekhyun

Sojin: Okay, I’m not allowed to tell but… Don’t worry Lara… It’s not Baekhyun *smiles at her*

Lara: but still… *covers her face with both of her hands* he’ll cut…

Sojin: not if you’re there to comfort him…

Lara: his friends can do that…

Sojin: c
