It had been a while since Baekhyun transferred to school. Every day was something new with him, and I found myself enjoying things more. Don't get me started on Chanyeol either- when those two were together, you couldn't even remember what happened the minute before. Nontheless, I was proud to say that I had friends. I was proud to say that things were starting to look up. But mostly, I was proud to say that I didn't need to concern myself with things of the past anymore.

Slowly, I found myself falling harder for Baekhyun. I thought it was going to be just a little crush, but I can safely confirm it's more of like a huge gigantic crush. It's not big enough to classify as a first love though. Not now, at least. But I really hoped he liked me too, even if it was just a little bit. I could see it: the way he looked at me sometimes, the way he tried to touch my hand or find an excuse to talk to me, the way he texted me at the most random times. It's just girl's intuition. You know how girls are. Sometimes they can just tell.

I didn't say anything though. At the same time I didn't even know if I wanted to be in a relationship. If it wasn't something serious, then what was the point of wasting my time for? I always think about the negatives. What if we break up after just a short amount of time? What if we're not friends after all of it? What if we're going to be the type of couple that slowly gets bored of one another?

Sometimes the magic is all in the moment. Those butterflies that you feel? That magical fantasy? The beauty of it all could possibly vanish if the things you dreamt for became a reality. I'm scared of that too. I really just didn't want my new fantastic life to go back to the dull, monochrome lifestyle I was living before.

"Two," Chanyeol muttered, setting a card down.

I quickly fumbled around my deck to pull out two cards. I placed them ontop of the pile. "Two threes," I replied, attempting to make myself sound inconspicuous. 

Baekhyun stared me down. I was never good at acting or hiding my real intentions, so I broke away from his gaze before he could figure something out. 

I heard him snicker. "B.S!" he called, reaching out to unflip the cards that I had just placed down. My 'two threes' were actually a jack of diamonds and queen of hearts. I scowled at the boys as Chanyeol died of laughter while Baekhyun pushed the fat deck in my direction. I added the paper items to my thin deck- resulting in a card stack bigger than Chanyeol's and Baekhyun's combined. "Epic fail," Chanyeol commented, noticing my gloomy expression. I grunted in agreement before sighing with a small smile. 

"This . I haven't won a single game yet," I complained, slapping my deck onto the cafe table. They both stared at each other before laughing again. I couldn't help but grin at them. I could never get mad at them for long.

It amazed me how close the two were. In such a short amount of time, they were so fond of one another that they could pass as brothers. "You guys are so cute, being brotherly and all," I mentioned. I sat back in my chair and watched as Baekhyun collected all of the cards and neatly placed them back into the box. Chanyeol nudged Baekhyun's arm before turning back to me. "I know right? I don't have any siblings, so I'm really glad." He grinned, but Baekhyun seemed to remain quiet. "I wonder what it's like to have siblings," Yeol continued. "I know you have like, a hundred of them Sumi."

I let out a short scoff at his exaggeration. "Yeah right. More like three."

Yeol stuck out his tongue. "Yeah yeah, whatever. Same thing." I laughed and tilted my head in Baekhyun's direction. I noticed he hadn't made any comments in the last few minutes. Breaking the short silence, I cleared my throat before asking, "What about you Baek?" He didn't respond. Instead, his glazed eyes were staring off into the distance, revealing that he was in deep thought. 

We both dropped our smiles. Chanyeol waved his hand infront of Baekhyun's face. "Dude?"

He snapped back to reality, shaking his head and leaning into the table as if to physically show that he was paying attention. "Sorry... what were you asking?" he said with a fake smile.

"I... asked if you have any siblings," I repeated. My words came out slower than before.

It took him a moment to open his mouth, but he quickly pursed his lips instead. I felt my heart drop at his expression. He looked like he was in pain for a split second. "No," he said. "I'm an only child." Baekhyun pushed himself out of his seat. "I'll be right back," he said before running off in the bathroom's direction.

He wasn't always like that. It was just recently that it started to happen. I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in myself. I mean, it had been a while after becoming friends. It would be fine if he opened up to me just a little, right? Was I wrong for wanting that? I sipped my tea slowly as if drinking the mixture would stir up an idea in my head.

"He always does this," Chanyeol stated.

"Does what?"

"Hide stuff from us."

I set my cup back down onto the saucer. "You think he's hiding something from us?" I asked, my brows furrowing.

He nodded. "Yeah. I mean, you just saw what he did right?"

"But he doesn't have to! He doesn't have to hide anything from us-- we're friends. He should've opened up weeks ago. Right?"

Chanyeol laughed. "Yeah, I agree with you. It's actually starting to get me down, to be honest." He rubbed the back of his neck. "Just give him some time, I guess."

I frowned. "How much time will that be?" I pestered, but Chanyeol only shrugged his shoulder in response. I reached over to jab my finger in his shoulder. "Do you think he doesn't trust us? Are we not good enough for his trust?" Chanyeol glared at me in pain as he shoved my finger away before flicking my forehead. I winced and sat back in my seat as he took a sip from his drink. "I don't know Sumi," he said after swallowing. "Trust me, you're not the only one who wants to know."
