Chanyeol lies comfortably on the grass, as he felt the warm cozy air brushing against his skin. He listens to the birds and the sound of joy from the children in the park.

All he could see was black. Everything else, he had to imagine; the trees, the sky, the color- everything.

He still felt a little heavy hearted from the incident earlier in the morning. Chanyeol hardly even knows how it feels to cry anymore. He’s been crying so much, he couldn’t tell whether he was crying or not; but he could tell once the tear reach his chin.

Chanyeol fell asleep for a few hours, it was dawn and the sun was already setting.

“Chanyeol, Chanyeol honey.” His mom shook his body slightly. “It’s almost late, let’s head home.”

When they’ve reached home, Chanyeol suddenly remember his school project. He quickly asks his mom to call Sehun over for help.

He rested and waited in his room, lying in bed once again staring into nowhere. All he could see was black, and some red and green spots here and there. His mind filled with many thoughts and wonders of life.

His thoughts were disturbed when he heard the door creak open.

“Sehun?” Chanyeol called out as he sat up.

“Chanyeol, I need you to help me with my maths homework.” It was Baekhyun’s voice.

Chanyeol faced down. “Oh. Okay. But I need to do my project with Se-“

“I know, I know, just help me, it’s only three questions.” Baekhyun interrupted and sat on the edge of Chanyeol’s bed.

Chanyeol felt Baekhyuns shoulders against his, he slightly scooted away a bit anxious. He heard Baekhyun saying the questions allowed.

“A cylindrical can was filled with three litres of oil and is ..” he listens carefully.

“Do you want me to repeat?” Baekhyun asks. Chanyeol shook his head and stayed silent; he was still focused with the math problem in his head.

Baekhyun stares at his brother, a little suspicious but envious. He envied Chanyeol deep inside, even losing his sight, Chanyeol was able to picture and solve the math problem in his head.

“Round thirty point one eight, the answer is thirty point twenty.” Chanyeol answered.

Baekhyun wrote the answer down, “wait how do you work it out?”

“It’s simple, just write down the formula, volume equals too..”

As Chanyeol speaks, Baekhyun writes down what he hears.

“Okay last question. The radius of..”

Chanyeol chuckles at the question, it was actually easy, he found it cute that Baekhyun still had no idea how to work it out. “Just do the same formula from the first question.”

Baekhyun presses his pen against the paper. “Oh. That’s it?” he looked at Chanyeol who nodded.

“Okay then.”

Chanyeol felt the bed lighten, and within a second, Baekhyun was already out of the room. There was a part of Chanyeol who felt really happy to help out and spend casual time with his brother, but there is that other half who is a bit upset that Baekhyun had left without a thank you or a bye.

Chanyeol frowns, “you’re welcome…” he whispered to himself.

“Hey happy virus, what’s with the sad face?” Sehuns voice suddenly appeared.

It’s been forever since anyone called him that. Facing at the direction of Sehuns voice, Chanyeol curved a weak smile. “Oh, nothing, I was just thinking.”

Sehun drops his bag and sat on the floor, he ped his backpack and took out the equipment needed for the project.

“Oh, Chanyeol remember the time we promised each other that if we had a crush on some girl we would inform one another?” Sehun said as he took out a pencil.

Chanyeol could hear excitement in his friends voice, he grinned in interest.

“Haha! Yep!” Sehun continued, “ I didn’t approach her or anything yet, but I heard she’s new and I want to be the first guy she got her eyes on.”

Chanyeol gave his friend a light punch on the shoulder, his mood was already lightened. “So go talk to her.”

Sehun looks down and started outlining the title, “but.. I can’t.”

The giant lifted a brow, “and why not?”

“Baozi.”

Chanyeol was completely confused with Sehuns reply; why did he suddenly bring up food in the middle of talking about girls. Chanyeol rubs his nape, “huh?”

“His name is Xiumin, slash Kim Minseok. You remember that guy in elementary school, the class monitor who looks like a big cutesy hamster meatball?” Sehun questioned, “Yeah, him, he already approached her first. I have this hate thing for Baozi but in the same time I don’t hate him, ugh I don’t even know.”

“Frenemies?” Chanyeol laughs.

“Heh.” Sehun shrugs. “Oh, and I heard he has this wing man to help him out, um some dude called Luhan. So you need to help me!” he begged as he shook the Giant’s knee, “Be my wing man!”

Chanyeol just laughed, Sehun looked really desperate. “Haha, dude chill, Of course I’d help you.”

They both continued working on the project, as they speak about life in general and old memories.

The following day at school Sehun made a moral decision of stepping up his game and making a move on that new girl; him and Chanyeol had everything figured out and planned.

 “Okay, you got it?” Chanyeol  whispers, “Let’s go over it one more time.”

Nodding Sehun leans in to whisper. “Okay, so first I will stand  on the cafeteria table, the one near the one she sits on, then I’ll ask her out in public, gift her a bouquet and bam! Of course she can’t say no!” Sehun said for the fifth time. “Chanyeol, I swear this is the best idea ever! Thanks man!”

After a few classes, the bell rang for lunch time and it was their queue. Sehun was already out in the cafeteria waiting for Chanyeol.  Sehun searched and looked around but the Giant was nowhere to be found, time was running out so he had no other choice than to start the plan.

He stood up on top of one of the cafeteria’s table and cleared his throat. He stomped on the table hardly to bring attention.

Just before he was about to start, Chanyeol came with Kyungsoo as guide, they both ran to the table Sehun was standing on. “Sehun!” Chanyeol whispered aloud holding the bouquet they were supposed to use, “Call off the plan, you’ll embarrass yourself, I’ll tell you later why, just call it off!”

They were already in the centre of attention, and Sehun didn’t care, he wanted that girl now. “No! It’s okay, I got this! Don’t worry bruh.” Sehun said, he looked down at Chanyeol, “oh yeah the bouquet! I almost forgot thanks man” he grabbed the bouquet Chanyeol was holding- and then looked at the girl who was sitting two tables away from his; she was sitting with that baozi guy. Jealousy took over, and nothing was going to stop him from asking her out.

“You!” Sehun pointed at the girl with Xiumin. “I don’t know but.. I.. I-“

“Sehun! Stop!” Chanyeol exclaims.

Sehun takes a deep breath, “I really, really like you, will you go out with me?” he kneeled down and held up the bouquet.

The cafeteria went silent.

Sehun a bit out of placed looked at Chanyeol who was covering his face. “Hey,” He whispered. “Hey- why did it go silent all the sudden?”

“Sehun.” Chanyeol voiced, “That girl is a guy. His name is Luhan.”

Sehuns eyes widened- surprised of what he was just old. He saw Kim, a wiz kid student who had a major, obsessive crush on him since junior high- and though he was stunned he thought quickly. Something he thought he’d never do,

“I mean not you.” He moved his hands and pointed towards Kim, “I mean you,” he gulps, “I meant to ask you o-out eh-“

Everyone oo-ed and later continued with their lunch.

“I can’t believe it, I can’t believe I got myself into a date K-kim.” Sehun stuttered as they walked through the hallway. Chanyeol couldn’t help but laugh.

As they walked, Kim passed them by and gave the most unappealing wink ever to Sehun.

Sehun winced and shivered, “Dude Kim just w-winked at me-“ Chanyeol laughed harder.

Sehun was extremely annoyed at the fact he did something dumb, like asking his stalker out. He sighed and continued walking. He saw Luhan not so far by, and kept his head down still a bit embarrassed.

School was over, Sehun walked Chanyeol home and walked to his home: not so far from Chanyeol’s.

The young man dropped himself onto bed and took out his cellphone. He had one new message from an unknown number.

It read,

‘I know you weren’t asking Kim. Pick me up at 7 tomorrow, I never said no ;)  -Luhan.’
