*Chapter Seven; Clash;

“Argue with me, I’ll kiss you,” Sehun’s words made Baekhyun stop his attempts of stealing the glasses away from Sehun’s grasp. He pulled his hand and let it fall beside him, jutting his bottom lip out in a pout.

“I just wanted to help, besides, this is my house and that should be done by me,” Baekhyun said, pointing at the glasses which were currently being washed by Sehun. The latter just smiled without looking at the smaller, finished the chore and dried his hands by the towel near him.

“You’re sick, aren’t you? We don’t want your fever to get any higher, right?” Sehun said, resting his palms above Baekhyun’s shoulder. The warmth of Sehun’s hands, even though there’s a clothing blocking it, still sent chills down Baekhyun’s spine, but in a positive way. He bit his bottom lip and darted his gaze to the floor, which he does whenever he finds the situation awkward. Even though Baekhyun’s gaze were landing on the cold, tile floor, he still couldn’t deny that he can feel the taller’s gaze pinning him, making his cheeks ting with pink—and making him find the situation, if possible, more awkward.

“N-no,” Baekhyun stuttered. He never felt this way towards Chanyeol. He never felt ecstatic by the warmth that covers him up, in fact, Chanyeol’s presence doesn’t shower him with warmth, it was only Sehun’s. But still, he felt more attracted towards the boy that has big ears than this boy in front of him, who possesses a weird, yet adorable lisp.

Sehun smiled, slightly pushing Baekhyun backwards. Baekhyun looked up, which he regret afterwards, as he was greeted by Sehun’s pink, plump, and perfect lips. He gulped. Being small doesn’t really made his heart beat slow a pace down, his eyes were positioned right in front of Sehun’s inviting lips.

I bet his lips are sweet.

Baekhyun’s thought drove off as his landed on something hard. He fiddled with his finger as Sehun pulled his hands again, which Baekhyun felt sad about, as the warmth left his body. He jutted his bottom lip out, again, in a pout, which disappeared as he felt Sehun’s hands pinching his cheeks. “Stop pouting, alright? You’re making me do something really….. interesting.”

Baekhyun gasped as Sehun wiggled his eyebrows up and down. He gulped, looking at the tile floor. Confusion crossed his mind as he heard Sehun’s melodic laughter. “What are you laughing at?”

Sehun smiled, his eyes almost disappearing behind those lids and lashes. Baekhyun scrunched his forehead, setting his eyes at Sehun’s dark ones. Sehun let out a small chuckle, and then pinched Baekhyun’s cheeks again. “I’m just kidding, alright? Now, what do you want to do?”

Baekhyun’s eyes lit up with excitement. “Movie marathon?”

Baekhyun’s voice was filled with excitement, and Sehun couldn’t help but smile at the small, fragile boy in front of him. He stood up, and then held Baekhyun’s hand, “Movie marathon.”

“Where’s your boyfriend?” Suho’s question didn’t cheer Chanyeol up, it made him even more pissed. He rolled his eyes at the small boy, and then fished his pocket for his phone. He pressed the single button, which made the screen light up. His mood didn’t do the same though, for Baekhyun didn’t sent him a text.

“,” Chanyeol said under his breath. He felt worried, but top it all off, Sehun isn’t at school as well. Sehun must have been gone to see Baekhyun, but it isn’t what he’s worrying about.

The bet is all that matters.

He doesn’t give a damn if Sehun’s with Baekhyun. Heck, he won’t probably care if Sehun fell in love with Baekhyun, as that’s possible. Baekhyun’s adorable and all, alright, but for Chanyeol, Baekhyun isn’t his forte.

He typed in a text for Baekhyun, and then erased it. He’s doing the same for the past half an hour; typing a text, erasing it, and then places his phone to his pocket. And then he takes it out again to do the same routine.

To : Baekhyun

Content : Why aren’t you in school?

Chanyeol sighed, his finger about to touch the ‘send’ button. He was baffled. He was curious, why Sehun and Baekhyun aren’t in school.

Chanyeol huffed, and then sent the text.

“Hey, drop me off by Baekhyun’s house, can you?”

***

“The movies are great! Thank you, Sehun!”

Baekhyun squealed, and Sehun couldn’t help but smile. He wrapped his arm around Baekhyun’s waist, which made Baekhyun feel a little awkward. For the past two hours of watching Disney movies, he finally felt “comfortable” around Sehun, but it is as a friend. The matter; Sehun wrapped his arm around Baekhyun’s waist, is not so comfortable.

Baekhyun, biting his bottom lip, fished his phone out of his bag. He pulled it out and was surprised to see a message from Chanyeol a couple of hours ago. He huffed as he unlocked the screen and checked the message.

From : Park Chanyeol

Content : Why aren’t you in school?

Baekhyun bit his bottom lip. His thoughts drove away as Sehun’s voice filled the air, with that cute lisp he has.

“Want something to eat? Bubble tea?”

Baekhyun smiled, nodding. Sehun held his hand, pulling him to a bench. “Would you like to wait here or go with me to the shop?”

“I’ll wait here, thanks,” Baekhyun said, remembering Chanyeol’s text. He glanced at his watch; it was half past eleven in the morning.

Sehun smiled, and then ruffled Baekhyun’s hair. His eyes turned to crescent, which made Baekhyun smile as well, as he found Sehun’s smile infectious. “Wait for me.”

Baekhyun nodded, as Sehun ruffled his hair again and walked to the bubble tea shop near the far end corner of the park. He took his phone out again, opening Chanyeol’s message and typing a reply.

To : Park Chanyeol

Content : I was sick, and then Sehun came at my house to take care of me. We watched some movies, don’t worry, I’m okay.

He sighed as the text message got sent, pushing his phone back to his pocket as Sehun approached him, holding out two cups of bubble tea.

“Too fast, Sehun,” a voice from behind said, which made Baekhyun stiffen.

Sehun’s smile disappeared as his gaze darted to the person behind Baekhyun. “Dude, Baekhyun was sick.”

“That doesn’t give you the right to take care of him instead of me,” Baekhyun finally had the courage to spin his head a little, Chanyeol’s lean and tall body greeting him in a not-so-good way.

“As you stated a few minutes ago,” Sehun said, handing Baekhyun one cup of bubble tea and then placing his left hand on Baekhyun’s hair, ruffling it, “I’m too fast.”
