This drive is Kris’ longest. Even though the drive to his house is less than half an hour, the silence enveloping the interiors of his car is deafening. It doesn’t help that Baekhyun seems to be trying to disintegrate him with his stare. Kris found his knuckles tightly closed over the wheel and his body is poised to react if Baekhyun tries to make advances on him again. If he had been on another situation, he wouldn’t have avoided Baekhyun like this. He seems like a nice guy but then this guy has attacked him when his defenses are low and Kris is bothered about how Chanyeol is thinking.

                “I’m sorry,” the car jerked but Kris was able to revcover immediately. Did Baekhyun just say sorry? “I was getting ahead of myself,” Kris doesn’t know what to say so he just kept quiet and focused on the road. “Don’t… don’t you remember anything?” Kris gazed at Baekhyun curiously. Where is he leading with this?

                “I don’t think I understand, Baekhyun.”

                “I… it doesn’t matter anymore,” the sadness that came with the other’s voice got Kris’ attention. Has he gone too far evading Baekhyun?

                “I think I need to hear what you mean by that.”

                “Do you remember when we first met, Yi Fan?” nobody really calls Kris by his real name except his parents and Luhan. He’s gotten interested as to why Baekhyun would call him that but the first time they met is one of the things that he doesn’t want to relive.

                “At school, during your first day,” the day you also kissed me in front of many people especially Chanyeol, Kris added in thought. Baekhyun shook his head with a sad smile on his face.

                “I’m kind of hurt now. You really don’t remember,” Kris doesn’t like being clueless and being played at it so his temper rose a little bit.

                “Can’t you just get over it and tell me what I need to remember?” he felt a little bad when he saw the shorter flinched at his tone but Kris has had enough. Many people are affected with the way Baekhyun is acting ans he has to get to the bottom of this and hopefully, stop him.

                “We already met way before that. See this?” Kris slowed down as he entered the drive to his house and glanced at Baekhyun to see what the other wants him to see and his brain paused. Baekhyun was smiling at him oddly but Kris thinks that he has seen that look somewhere. Somewhere in one of his memories and then it clicked. “You remember now?”

                From one of Kris’ childhood memories came the vision of the look he has seen on Baekhyun’s face. That rectangular smile showing his set of perfectly white teeth is also worn by Kris’ first ever friend. Even before Luhan. He and Luhan had met when Kris transferred to China when he was eight and they became the best of friends ever since. But Kris’ first friend had
