021: The Consequences of Bar Kisses
Her New Normal
Everything in Sehun wanted to turn away from the confrontation ahead of him. He finally caught sight of Baekhyun, leaning against a wall with Joohyun, looking like he was ranting to her. All of ten seconds ago, Sehun had been on the other side of the club, kissing the girl of his dreams like he wished he had basically half of his cognitive life at this point. Deep down, he wanted to disregard the look of betrayal on Baekhyun's face and just go back to Sol. But, he couldn't do that, he couldn't act like this wasn't his fault in at least some ways.

Yubi and Jongin didn't ask questions when Sol asked if they could leave. They just got in the car, and picked up fried food on the way back to Yubi's place. Sehun turning down the ride had stung a little bit, but she understood why he did. By the time Sol got home, throwing her heels to the side as she walked in, it was past one in the morning. Baekhyun's car was in the driveway, but she figured he would have already gone to bed, or at least locked his door so he could ignore her for the rest of their lives.
