F I V E

School doesn’t look like a hell filled with devils anymore to Irene. Everything changes ever since Baekhyun talked to Irene and decided to sit with her for every lunch break. Irene was frightened to hope for something more beyond sitting together in the dining room,

            Who am I to actually be able to date Byun Baekhyun?

            I’m a student from Class F, a girl with the biggest number in the scale and is not attractive at all. That’s how I see myself, or at least this is how everyone sees me.

            The numbers of bullies were slowly decreasing as Baekhyun started sitting down with her. For a slight seconds, Irene felt so happy that she could jumped off the roof and fly but as she snapped back to reality, it was all merely her expectations and it would only kill her. Having expectation that Baekhyun liked her was like having a beautiful dream but when you wake up, nothing actually happened. Irene was too afraid to know.

            Today Irene walked to school alone because Chanyeol was not feeling well. It doesn’t feel weird to her to walk alone because she had been walking alone ever since she entered this school. But someone had stayed with her, walked with her through thick and thin, her best friend, Oh Sehun.

            Irene smiled from ear to ear and waved her hand as she saw Sehun was already standing in front of the school’s gate, waiting for her. When he saw Irene, his orbs lighten up and smiled, waving his hand back to her.

            “Hey.”

            “Hey.”

            They climbed up the stairs while talking about each other’s activities last night and some weird storied that only them would understand. The world felt as if it was their own. As they were walking to their class, it was supposed to be quiet but today was different. A bunch of girls were standing in front of Class F, tip toing as if they were to find someone.

            A girl turned their head to the side, her eyes met Irene’s and she exclaimed,

            “She’s here!”

            Irene slightly jumped back in shocked as she heard her high pitched voice. The girls turned their head and looked at her. They rushed their steps towards Irene making a semi-circle shape surrounding Irene with a rose with a small note in each of their hands.

            “Please give this to Chanyeol.” Everyone reached their hands out to Irene, asking her to take their flowers to Chanyeol.

            “S-Sure..”

            Irene stammered in confusion, trying to figure out what was happening as she took the roses one by one from each of their hands. Irene couldn’t believe that these girls were falling head over heels to her brother, and I’m here, nobody’s crush.

            Irene brought the flowers into the class and as she tidy them up, there were more than 30 stalks of roses on her table and it was spilling to Sehun’s table.

            “What’s with the flower?” Sehun asked.

            “Don’t you know the campaign that the school held for fund-raising?” One of the classmates asked back to Sehun.

            “What campaign?” Sehun asked.

            “It’s so hilarious, ‘Everyday is Valentine Day’”

            “So you can buy a rose and give them to someone you like?” Sehun raised his brow.

            “Yeah I guess so.” He shrugged his shoulder, turning his face away from us.

Oh Sehun’s POV

           He shrugged his shoulder telling me that he wasn’t sure or either did he care. As I turned my head to the side, Irene was already looking down to her table, carefully placing the flowers on her paper bag. I could feel something was strange about her mood.

            “Hey,” I tapped her shoulder, “You okay?”
