Strangest Fate of FatesThe two of them were now just sitting on their respective beds. "Thank you Jongin," said Baekhyun.
"You're welcome hyung," he said back.
"Why did you still help me? I told you not to didn't I?" the older male asked, avoiding any and all eye contact.
"Hyung, how long have you been attending this university for?" he asked back.
"This is my third year."
"This is my second year and I have already been asked out by at least two hundred girls and guys. I am known as the heartbreaker by many. People think that I'm part of a gang, or the mafia and some even think that I am a pole dancer who works at night clubs. I honestly don't keep track of it at all, but I have a reason. I don't think it's necessary to talk to people because it causes unnecessary distractions and conflicts. I have rejected every single request to go on a date in my whole life because I just don't think that people are great. Only two people have ever made it onto my friends list. I still keep my manners and etiquette in check wherever I go, but I don't talk to people unless I have to. Then you showed up," he said as he averted his eyes.
"What has this got to do with anything Jongin?" asked Baekhyun.
"Just listen. You show up and suddenly I'm caring for someone other than myself and my friends. I have shown more emotion in front of you than I have ever shown to my friends. I had no idea why I was doing that and then I realised something. There really is only one reason that could explain it." He took a deep breath. "I like you Byun Baekhyun."
The two locked eye contact and as Jongin saw surprise, Baekhyun could see the sincerity and truth. "Well, since you described yourself, I might as well go ahead and tell you about me. Since the beginning of middle school all the way until the end of high school I have attended in total twelve schools. That's pretty much moving schools twice a year. It was because of my parents' job, but because of the frequent moving, I never really had a chance to make any friends nor did I bother trying. It was hectic at first, but after a while, I got bored of it. I never unpacked all of my belongings because I just knew we would move again. So, I just got bored with life. I had to always keep my studying at a consistent rate so that I wouldn't have any trouble keeping up.
"Within the time I have been attending this university, I have moved houses four times. My parents finally allowed me to stay in the dorms from now on because I made the excuse that it was interfering with my studies too much. Which wasn't a complete lie, but I was just not bothered to move again. I guess you could say that I have reached a point where I have just given up on making friends and getting close to others because I just never had the experience as I was growing up. That's really the only reason I avoid others and they avoid me. And then suddenly you save me from that teacher and start to be nosy, start to get closer to me than the other people I have come across. My seemingly calm, stoic outer layer suddenly disappear
