十三 thirteen
Paradise LostThe air was certainly heavy. Jongdae and Chanyeol constantly exchanged nervous glances,as the witnessed the girl in front of them slipping into shock.
'It probably doesn't feel nice to be lied to by your friend.' Jongdae mused. He wasn't as close to Kyungsoo as Chanyeol, but being friendly acquaintances, he knew Kyungsoo was far from being a bad guy. Sure he was rather eccentric, and definitely came off odd, but he realized that he was perhaps just as much of a Messiah to Bora as he was to Chanyeol or Baekhyun.
The usually stone faces Park Chanyeol showed obvious hints of uneasiness on his face.
'. She's not looking good.'
He closed his eyes for a few seconds, wondering if he should initiate some form of help. Chanyeol wasn't good with people. He definitely had close to no experience with women. He would only make things worse.
"Um miss, this might come as not a very pleasant surprise but Kyungsoo's not at fault, he probably didn't mention in because he doesn't want you getting hurt-" Jongdae began.

Jongdae smiled at the apathetic Chanyeol.
"Under that stone exterior, you're just really worried that Jimin's relation to you would harm his reputation. The fact that Bang Jimin is actually 'Park Jimin'."
To this, Chanyeol responded with silence.
"You know Chanyeol. Sometimes I think, the only person you hate more than Baekhyun,is yourself."
This was a philosophy Kim Jongdae came up with after being around Chanyeol for quite sometime.
