Potato In A Dress Pt. 2

One Month

You mentally slapped him on the face for so blatantly pointing that out. You played along as if it was unknown to you that she was wearing the exact same dress. 

 

"Oh! Wow" you said dryly. 

"You look stunning Y/N", Olivia commented sweetly.

Well , you thought. You couldn't help but like her at the moment, no matter how bad she made you feel about yourself. It's not like it's her fault for being so pretty, you argued.

You placed a smile on your face and offered her a compliment in return, "So do you". 

She smiled in response, when Kai once again spoke up. 

 

"But you have to admit, Olivia's rocking this dress way better", he bluntly remarked, a cocky expression on his face. 

Your mouth fell open a bit in shock, totally surprised to be hearing those cruel words escape from his lips that once always smiled at you. 

You untangled yourself from Baekhyun's embrace and fled the room. Walking in whichever direction, nothing else on your mind except for leaving. 

 

After a minute or two of walking around aimlessly, you heard footsteps trailing after you. 

 

"Y/N", Baekhyun's voice called out soothingly. He grasped your arm gently, facing you towards him. The dark hallway that you had found youself in, allowed the moonlight streaming in through one of the windows to illuminate Baekhyun's flawless features. His mouth in a concerned line. 

 

"Are you alright?" he asked, placing his hands on your shoulders, gazing his eyes into your slightly puffy ones from your previous crying. 

You didn't know how to respond in all truthfulness. You didn't want to admit that Kai's comment had hurt you so deeply, but it was too late to hide the stinging pain that it had brought you. 

 

"No", you sobbed silently into the crook of his neck. His arms instantly wrapped themselves around you,  his hand beginning to rub soothingly over your back. 

"Shhh, it's okay Y/N. I'm here for you, just cry it all out now." he told you calmingly. 

 

After a moment of you silently crying into his neck, you lifted up your head. Luckily, you were never one to wear makeup, so you didn't have to worry about your face looking like someone splattered paint all over it because of your crying. 

 

Baekhyun smiled at you. "It's amazing that you still manage to look incredibly beautiful even after you cry". 

 

You cracked a smile while he moved a strand of loose hair behind one of your ears. 

 

"If it makes you feel any better, I landed a pretty good punch on that douche's face." Baekhyun gloated. 

"Really?!" you asked increduously. 

"No, and he's lucky that I didn't. Or else he wouldn't have been able to compete in the dance competition, or eat cause I'd have knocked out all his teeth" he replied jestingly. 

You laughed at his sassy reply, his sassiness always managed to make you feel better even when you felt like absolute . That was just one of the many reasons why you loved him. 

 

"But I did manage to give him a glare that could kill. I also managed to see his date shove him to the side after calling him an and storming off". 

 

You gaped in surprise at what Baekhyun had just told you. 

Hmmm. This Olivia girl definitely rocks, you thought happily. 

 

Taking your hand in his, Baekhyun slowly led you back into the main room where the party was taking place. Luckily Kai wasn't there, and you were glad. You just weren't ready to face him again. If you did, you were afraid that you would break out into tears once more. 

 

I mean, he always talked about how much he cared about me. And how he would never hurt me. It felt like he had just stabbed my heart, you reflected. 

 

Brushing your negative thoughts aside, you looked around the room. Searching for any food that caught your eyes. Suddenly you spotted the perfect thing. 

 

"Want to try the chocolate fountain?" you asked, drooling at the sight of the 4 foot tall chocolate machine. 

"Definitely", Baekhyun replied, already dragging you towards the chocolate spewing contraption. 

 

A few chocolate covered strawberries and marshmallows later, you heard a familiar voice boom through the speakers set up throughout the room. Mr. Kepton was announcing that the dance competition was about to take place in the mansion's backyard. 

 

"Ouuu, if the house looks this ing amazing, I wonder how the backyard will be", you whispered to Baekhyun. 

 

And indeed, the backyard was a jaw dropping sight. Just entering the backyard area, you were greeted by stunning arches consisting of bright pink flowers. 

 

  Like this :). 

 

 

After reaching the end of the path, a black floor stage was placed on the luscious green grass and chairs were dotted all around it. Not too many people had been seated, so Baekhyun and you were both able to score front row seats. As soon as you guys sat down, Mr. Kepton was in the midst of making an announcement on a dark wooden podium near the stage. 

 

"Hello! I'm glad that you people have been able to make it here to the Annual Kepton Dance Compeition." he began. "The first group that will be competing is a group right here from Paris! They are known as - " your ears started to tune him out. You couldn't help it as your mind slowly drifted back to the time that Kai had openly insulted you. And it didn't happen all too long ago, so the wound that he had managed to give you from his sharp tongue was still fresh and hurt like hell. 

 

The lights set up around the stage suddenly came to life, showing off the group of people who were in a triangular formation in the middle of the stage before you. With the setting sun behind the stage, the sight was quite beautiful. Music then began to play through the two big speakers positioned parallel from one another on either side of the stage. You didn't recognize the song, but it had a nice beat to it that repeated itself throughout the whole song. There were no lyrics, but with the dance that the team paired up with it, it was enjoyable to listen to. "Aish, I wish I had listened earlier so that I could've known the group's name." you mumbled dissapointedly to yourself. 

 

After a few more performances, it was finally Kai's group's turn. By now, it was completely dark outside, but the multiple lights scattered throughout the backyard made it up and you, as well as the rest of the audience, were still able to get a clear view of the show. 

 

"Okay folks! This will be the last performance of the night. And please don't forget to fill out a voting ballot before leaving. That way, we will be able to determine this year's winner of the Annual Kepton Dance Competition", Mr. Kepton proclaimed. "This group is known as EXO! And they have traveled all the way from Korea. Please give them a round of applause before they begin!". 

 

You gave a tired set of claps, while the rest of the crowd, excluding Baekhyun and you, gave a thunderous round of applause. The stage lights dimmed slightly, and music began to play. The dance was both sophisticated, yet charismatic at the same time, matching with the music which was once again nothing but a compilation of various rythms. EXO, as they labeled themselves, were all dressed up in white wife beaters, paired along with a simple pair of black joggers and all black sneakers. You spotted Kai, and because his get up at the moment was the total opposite from what he had worn earlier, you couldn't help but be surprised. 

 

Finally, the music came to an end and they filed off of the stage, panting heavily from their previous physical activities. Unfortunately for you, the direction in which they had to walk in, was right past where Baekhyun and you sat. Your heart uncontrollably sped up with each step Kai took towards you. You were extremely nervous with what was about to unfold. 

 

What are you so worried about?! you thought frustratedly. He's just going to walk past you, you don't need to waste anymore time thinking about him. 

 

And he did just that. Just walked by you as if he hadn't had a clue as to who you were, as if he didn't care or acknowledge your existence. 

 

You let out a breath of relief, suddenly feeling your hand being taken ahold of. You gave Baekhyun a grateful smile in return. Despite the relief you felt from Kai's decision of walking past you without paying you any attention, you couldn't help but feel a pang of pain from his coldness. You were curious as of what caused his sudden 360 degree spin in attitude. 

 

"So that concludes this year's Annual Kepton Dance Competition! Thank you all for coming. And again, please make sure to vote before leaving!" Mr. Kepton once again announced at the podium. 

 

You unintentionally stood up in a hurried manner, and being your clumsy self, you fell. Luckily someone was there to catch you before you made a fool of yourself in front of all these people. 

 

"You're so clumsy", Baekhyun teasingly said as he placed you upright again. He led you back towards the house, and you both skipped out on the whole voting process. 

 

"We're such rebels", you sarcastically stated as you both entered the car. You both laughed at your snide statement, but you couldn't help but feel a bit guilty since Mr. Kepton had been nothing but generous to the both of you. Oh well, you thought. And because you weren't really paying any attention to any of the competitors' performances, you found that it was useless for you to vote since you wouldn't be voting honestly. 

 

"Since it's only like 10 pm, want to go somewhere?" Baekhyun asked. 

"Sure. Where are you planning on going?" you replied. 

"You'll see when we get there", he spoke in return, his lips curved up into a mischevious smile. 

 

 

A/N : I'm sorry for all the Kai stans! I don't have anything against Kai, but in this story he's just going to be the bad guy. Or is he? :) And also, I'm trying to make my chapters longer, so please bear with my horrible writing skills. Also! I've been recently getting SUPER obsessed with Infinite. And I think my ultimate Infinite bias is Hoya, but Myungsoo's a definite bias ruiner! Haha. I would like to give credit to my new obsession to this one Infinite/EXO M fanfic that I am currently reading. It's titled What She Never Told Him, and it was written by the incredibly talented writingcrazed.
