CHAPTER THREE

"Byun Baekhyun"

 

 

Byun Baekhyun... Ugh! It never crossed my mind that the little adorable boy I'm so fond of will turn to a devilish man up until now. This guy turned my life upside down. And as I look at him right now, I know very well that starting today more trouble will come in my life.   Flashback...   When Dad remarried, it was my last year in middle school. His wife moved to our house with two of her own sons. It was Baekhyun and Kyungsoo. Both of them were really nice kids. Kyungsoo, that doe-eyed little cutie, was a bit quiet and always have a dull expression on his face. He has a cute heart shape lips when he smiles. Even if he has these wider white portion on his eyes that's making it look bigger, he really looks so charming and innocent. But don't be deceive with his cuteness. Whenever he was played or teased he won't stop until he gets back to those who do that. He's scary when he gets mad. While on the contrary, Baekhyun was chatty. He really talks a lot. He even invents or twists words with a meaning of his own. Baekhyun is friendly and very bubbly.  He maybe a little diva and sensitive sometimes but he never fails to make me smile with his funny and cute acts. Oh, and these two have a very beautiful singing voice. They love to sing, especially Baekhyun. He's belting out even late at night sometimes. I guess its one factor why Minseok and Chanyeol got along easily with them. They have a common denominator, music.    That time, Minseok and I were studying in the same school. He was on his first year in middle school and me on my last. Baekhyun and Kyungsoo transferred in Chanyeol's primary school. Baekhyun and Chanyeol became classmates and become real good buddies. Dad and his wife were both working. They were always busy at work. Mostly, I was the one responsible at home since I was the oldest. I'm the one who always look after my brothers. We play... we fight... we bond... that's what we do as we grow up. Well, the fighting was just because of some very small things or misunderstandings. And it become very, very seldom... as in, we don't even remember if we did, since Sehun was born. He was so cute and become the center of our attraction.   As time goes, our bonds become tighter. As if we all came out in the same parents, like we were all blood related. We were like musketeers... one for all, all for one. And with that, I became overly protected by them since I was the only girl and not minding our age differences.   My brothers were really growing up so handsome. They even become popular at their schools. I can't help to compare other guys with them. So I guess that's why I never get interested with boys, even at school. Oh wait, there's one... Dongbangshinki's Micky Yoochun (too bad the group split up). I know he's an Idol star, but I was so crazy about him. And when I start dreamily talk about him, you would see my brothers dispersing one by one until I was left alone by myself. Sometimes, they would cover my mouth just to shut me up.   But something really unexpected happened. I have no idea when did it start, but I become so fond of Baekhyun. Things between us were changing. I don't know if our sibs have noticed it, but surely our parents didn't know anything about it, we were always together. We both become clingy with each other, as though skinship was a very normal thing. It was really nothing for me at first but when I was in high school and Baekhyun was in middle school that's when I get conscious about it. I find him really attractive. I know this isn't right but... jeez! His eyes... his lips... his voice... darn, I love hearing him sing. Minseok was already in China that time and there's no one else I could talk to. He's the only one I always confide with. I'm having a crush with my brother... I'm having brother-complex with Baekhyun. And I don't have the guts to tell Chanyeol and Kyungsoo about it... and definitely not to my friends at school. What would they think of me?   One day, our parents were out of town. It was weekend, no school. Chanyeol and Kyungsoo strolled Sehun around the mall. Baekhyun and I were left at home. It was past lunch time and both of us were sitting at the couch in the living room watching a movie, a romantic one. Yeah, I know... I was in this brother-complex dilemma and still, I'm watching a romantic flick with him. ALONE. Anyways, a throw pillow was between us. I straighten up my legs and positioned my feet at the center table. I was trying to concentrate at the movie but my attention keeps on diverting on Baekhyun. He can't keep his self still. He would curl his knees up... do Indian seat... straight his legs at the table too... I was even startled when he removed the pillow between us and lay down, his head on my lap. His eyes were still focus on the tv. While me, my heart was in frantic. I am totally distracted. I don't even know what's happening on the movie that we were watching. I was thinking on how to calm myself when a question suddenly pops out in his mouth. "Noona, do you like someone right now?" He turned his gaze at me. I look down at him. I don't know what to say. His eyes were fixated on mine. I felt like being pulled by it. Then my eyes looked down to his lips. Ah, shoot me now! I feel so stupid gulping down because of the urge of wanting to dive my own lips on his which looks so y and sweet to taste. A voice in my head snapped at me. "Nam, get a hold of yourself! For goodness sake, he's your b
