Baekhyun woke me up in the middle of the night with an excited phone-call. I had to listen to him go on and on about how great their date was, how adorable Tao was, how good a kisser Tao was…

“I swear to god Baekhyun, if you tell me one more time about that thing Tao did with his tongue, I will kick your up to the moon. There are some things you just don’t tell your best friend.”

“But Channie, it felt amazing! Seriously oh man I should get Tao to teach you the move, you’d get Kris in no time.”

“What the hell Bacon?! So I’m just meant to go up to Kris and kiss the hell out of him?!”

“..It worked with me…”

“That’s because you’re weird. You guys are weird.. A weirdly ..cute couple.”

“You think we’re cute? Awwwww Channie.”

“Okay cool just ignore the 3 times I called you weird… Anyway where’d you end up taking your loverboy?”

“Okay, so I had to call in a few favours from people but it was so worth it. I took him to the aquarium and rented out the ocean room where you can sit and dine and watch the underwater animals. Tao’s favourite animal is the panda but yknow eating in a panda enclosure is hardly romantic.”

“So true, I hear panda poop smells vile…”

“Exactly, I didn’t want to make out to the smell of poo you know..”

“…Who does..”

“So anyway, we have our nice meal, and I called up ahead to request a special dessert.”

“Let me guess, it was in the shape of a heart. With something cheesy inside like a ring.”

“…….Am I that predictable.”

“Oh god, I can’t believe you did that. That’s like the cheesiest thing in the book! I bet your greasy friend Woohyun gave you that idea.”

“Hey shutup, he has good ideas okay! Anyway, Tao loved it. So ha!”

“Hahaha, well, I guess you guys are made for each other then! And as much as I would looove to hear you go on and on about how great Tao is and how hot Tao is, I really need to get some sleep. Unlike some people who do an Arts degree, I have uni every day.”

“Hahahahaha, to be a science kid! But thanks for listening to me ramble Yeollie, I’ll talk to you soon! Sleep well!”

“Night!”

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I ended up waking up an hour before my alarm went off. Even though I only had 5 hours of sleep after Baekhyun’s damn phone call, I had way too much nervous energy to go back to sleep. Today was a very special day; today, Kris and I were having our second private tutorial session and I was determined to make him see how perfect I was for him.

I had an hour to spare before breakfast, which was perfect for styling myself up to utter perfection (not that I needed that much time…I mean I’m a pretty decent looking human being if I do say so myself..)

I picked out a white tee with a low v-neck and pulled it on. Perfect, my tan really offset the white and made me look; dare I say it, almost like a Greek God? I flexed my muscles into the mirror and snorted at how ridiculous I looked, no matter how many bench presses I did, I still looked like a pre-pubescent 12 year old. I searched my cupboards for my tightest black jeans, the pair Baekhyun had forced me into buying after saying even he “would tap that like there was no tomorrow” after seeing my in them. I almost threw up hearing him say that but he blamed it on the pants, “Anyone would look good in those pants okay! And why can't a heteroual guy tell a heteroual guy that he thinks his booty is fly?”

Baekhyun agreed that the nosebleed he got after I punched him was deserved, “Next time, just kick me in the face.”

After a few minutes of struggling to get the zip up, the jeans were finally on. I just hoped I would haven’t have to do anything strenuous today, and I better not sweat because they would be impossible to take off otherwise.

Once the clothes were on, I added a simple dog-tag necklace (to show that I was manly, yknow) and a few bracelets (but I was a stylish namja, okay) and proceeded to do my hair. I brushed it a few times and grabbed some styling wax and pulled it up into a faux hawk like those Gucci models I saw in that magazine the other day.  It took me 15 minutes before I was finally satisfied with my look. I saw my eyeliner pencil peeking out from under my books and grabbed it; the perfect thing to finish my look.

The first thing my mum did as I walked downstairs was wolf whistle.

“Ummaaaaa, stop it!” I whined

“I can’t help it that my baby boy is looking extra handsome today! Who are you dressing up for huh? There must be someone special right?” My mum asked as she elbowed my waist.

“Eh umma don’t be like this! I’m just taking advantage of being allowed to wear whatever I want to uni! After suffering more than 10 years in an ugly, uncomfortable uniform, I’m glad I can just go around in a shirt and jeans.”

“But those aren’t any old pair of jeans! I’ve only seen you wear those once and I distinctly recall a young man walking out your room the next morning.” Mum said with a wink.

I blushed deeply, “Maaaa! I thought we weren’t going to bring that day up anymore!”

“Sorry, sorry, but I’m just curious is all! My son doesn’t get dolled up for nobody! So why don’t you let your mother know who it is who has my son dressing up like this?”

“Ehh mum, I’ll tell you when I actually get him okay? I have to go now, I’ll talk to you later.” I said as I pecked her cheek.

“Aish, alright, be a good boy and don’t cause any trouble! Maybe you should wear a jacket!”

“Bye mum…” I hollered from the front door.

I decided to walk to uni today since the sun was shining and there wasn't a cloud in the blue sky. The smiles on the school childrens' faces, the bright flowers blooming in the park and the small dogs walking along the pathway kept the smile on my face all the way to uni. But when I entered the uni entrance, I felt my jitteriness spread throughout my body and I ran all the way to Kris' building. By the time I reached Kris’ door I was feeling really hyper and felt like talking a mile a minute. Just as I was about to knock on the door I heard a low voice speaking angrily.

“Have you talked to Jongdae yet?”

“I’ll do it soon…”

“What about that kid in your class? I thought you liked him!”

“ I do!”

“Then why haven’t you talked to Jongdae yet!?”

My faced scrunched up in confusion as I pushed my ear onto the door to get a better listen to what was going on inside.

“You don’t understand..”

“Kris…you can’t keep doing this..and neither can I. I can’t keep covering up for your stupid mistakes...”

“I’m not asking you to Yixing! It’s fine, I’ll sort it all out.”

I moved away from the door, feeling even more confused. I couldn’t help but jump to conclusions; was Kris talking about me? And was Jongdae his boyfriend? I felt myself come down slightly from my coffee high and started walking back to the lift. I couldn’t bear to see Kris anymore, not after what I had just heard.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I met up with Sehun and Kai outside the chemistry building at noon and we walked into our tute room together. I kept myself occupied with them and refused to look Kris in the eye. Whenever he asked me a question I would give him a short, direct answer. When he asked me to elaborate, I’d apologize and say I hadn’t studied that far yet. Sehun and Kai kept shooting me confused looks but I whispered that I’d explain later. When class finally ended I urged Sehun and Kai to quickly pack up and leave but Kris grabbed my shoulder as I was about to walk out the door.

“Chanyeol, hey, you didn’t come by this morning.” Kris said worriedly.

I avoided his eyes and mumbled, “Yeah sorry, something came up.”

“Hey, is everything okay?”  He asked in the same worried tone.

“Yeah, everything’s fine… I have to go now…” I trailed off whilst shrugging his hand off my shoulder.

“O-okay, I’ll uh see you in our next tutorial then..” He said, visibly hurt.

I nodded curtly before walking out of the room.

I quickly ushered Sehun and Kai out of the building and led them to a spare bench on the uni lawns.

“What was that all about?” Kai asked bewilderedly.

“Sorry guys, I just, I heard something this morning about Kris..” I sighed.

“Oh no, is everything okay?! What did you hear Yeollie?” Sehun asked anxiously.

“I don’t know, I mean I only heard a little bit of his conversation with his friend, but from what I gathered, I don’t think I want to be with that sort of person.”

Kai inched closer to me, “What is into? Drugs? ? Oh god he’s not a drug dealer who people right?!”

Sehun slapped Kai on the shoulder and told him to shut up.

I snorted, “Okay, when you say things like that I guess it’s not thaaat bad, but I think Kris has a boyfriend..and this might just be because I’m a naïve idiot...but I feel like he was leading me on all this time! I mean who does that? God, I feel so stupid.”

Sehun rubbed my back gently, “Hey, hey, it’s okay Channie. You are definitely not in the wrong here, he’s a douchebag for doing that to you. Right Kai?”

Kai nodded profusely, “Damn straight, you just need to cut him out of your life.”

Sehun slung his arm over my shoulders and pulled me into a half-hug, “We’ll find you someone new. Someone better, someone –“

“Who isn’t a lying scumbag!” Kai chimed in.

Sehun glared at Kai before hugging me again.

“We’ll find you someone better. Someone as good looking as you, phwoar, even I’d like some of that when you’re wearing those jeans.” Sehun winked as I blushed.

“Shut up, these jeans were forced upon me!” I explained.

“Well, just make sure you wear them when we go man hunting later on!” Kai smirked.

I rolled my eyes at their immaturity, but appreciated it all the same.

“Thanks guys, I’m glad I could get this off my chest… Anyway I guess I’m just going to go home now, I’m feeling a bit tired anyway.”

“But Yeollie, you can’t just go home dressed like that! You are looking fiiiine!  We should go man hunting right now!” Kai shouted.

I chuckled, “Thanks guys, I appreciate it, but I think I’m just going to rest a bit at home.”

I hugged Sehun and Kai once more and began making my way home. My coffee high was completely and utterly gone now and all I felt like doing was curling up in a small ball and crying. Goddammit Park Chanyeol grow some balls!

Nobody was home when I opened my front door. I was glad because it meant I wouldn’t have to explain to my mum why I was home so early and I wouldn’t have to delve into a conversation about who I was dressed up for..

I kicked my shoes off and jumped onto my bed. I still had 4 hours to kill before meeting Suho tonight and I decided to try and get some sleep to forget my worries for a few hours.
