I Just Love You (Kray, Hunhan, Baekyeol)
“Another breakup?” Yixing asked as soon as he saw Kris walking towards their table at the cafeteria, his hair in a mess. This is already the fourth time this month.
“Who needs her anyway.” Kris said, running his fingers across his hair.
“You’ve got to stop changing girlfriends every now and then.” Yixing said, ignoring Kris.
“I’m just too perfect for them.” Kris said and Yixing rolled his eyes.
“You’re an asshole you know that?” He asked.
“Of course, you’ve been telling me that since middle school.” Kris said.
“Asshole.” Yixing and Kris said at the same time.
“What, are you jealous?” Kris joked.
Of course Yixing is jealous. He had a huge crush on Kris since middle school and he didn’t have the guts to tell Kris about how he felt about him. He’s scared and he knows that Kris will never feel the same. The two of them have been friends since elementary school and Kris is always the handsome, athletic and famous playboy in their school while Yixing is always the quiet, shy and talented kid in class.
“Zhang Yixing!” Kris shouted, snapping his fingers in front of Yixing.
“What?” Yixing asked.
“You’re always zoning out when I talk to you. Are you just dazed by my beauty?” He asked and Yixing gave him a sarcastic smile.
“You wish.”
“Anyway, where’s Baekhyun?” Kris asked, looking around to look for his midget friend.
“Probably in the library again, digging through the science fiction section.” Yixing answered.
“You know, he should get a girlfriend.” Kris said, stealing one of Yixing’s fries and eating it.
“He’s not like you Kris.” Yixing said.
……
Baekhyun is in the library, looking for the third book of the series that he had recently started reading. His glasses sliding down whenever he bends down to look for the books. He pushed his glasses in a frustrated way and sighed.
“Where could it be?” He asked himself.
He craned his neck to take a look at the higher shelves, his eyes scanning through the rows of books.
“Aha! Found you.” He whispered, tiptoeing to get the book.
Baekhyun is not short, he is not a midget even though Kris always teased him about that. Sure he might be a little shorter than the average Korean guys but he is not THAT short. He reached out, tiptoeing to get the book but no matter how hard he tries to take it, he just can’t reach it. He tried jumping but still he couldn’t reach it.
“Fine. I’ll drag Kris here next time.” He mumbled to himself, giving up and wanted to walk away.
“Here, let me help you.” He heard someone said and he turned around.
“Pa…Park Cha…Chanyeol?” Baekhyun couldn’t believe his eyes.
“You know my name?” Chanyeol asked, blinking his eyes.
“Ye…Yeah… We have Chemistry class together.” Baekhyun said.
“You’re Byun Baekhyun right? The kid that sits with Kris at the corner of the class with another Chinese kid.” Chanyeol said.
“Yeah.” Baekhyun said, a little fluttered that the school’s basketball ace knows his name.
“Kris always talks about you and his friend, Yixing during basketball practice. You guys are really close to duizhang huh.” Chanyeol asked.
“Well, I guess. I’ve know them since middle school and you can say we’re quite close.” Baekhyun said.
“Ahh…. Oh right, the book that you wanted.” Chanyeol said, handing Baekhyun the book he was holding.
“Thanks.” Baekhyun said and blushed. He was embarrassed that Chanyeol saw him jumping, trying to get the book from the higher shelf.
“Uhh… I don’t know if you’re okay with it but can I ask a favor from you?” Chanyeol asked, rubbing his nape.
“Well it depends on what favor you’re asking… What is it?” Baekhyun asked, hugging the book he just got from Chanyeol.
“Well you see… Due to too much basketball, my grades are a little you know, off. So I think maybe you can help me a little since you’re the smartest kid in our class?” Chanyeol said, staring at the floor with embarrassment.
“Huh… I’m not sure… I’m not that good in tutoring you know. I mean I’m glad to help you but I’m afraid that you might get strangled by me. I have quite a short temper you know.” Baekhyun said.
“I don’t mind if you’ll strangle me. My parents said if my grades continue to be like this, no more basketball for me.” Chanyeol said, this time he was staring at Baekhyun with his puppy eyes.
“I’m not sure…” Baekhyun hesitated.
“Please?” Chanyeol asked.
“Okay… I’ll help you.” Baekhyun said and Chanyeol smiled.
“Thank you Baekhyun! I owe you one.” He said and smiled a smile that made Baekhyun melt.
“Oh no.” Baekhyun said, he suddenly remembered something.
“What is it?” Chanyeol asked.
“Oh no. I’m supposed to meet Kris and Yixing at the cafeteria! I’ll get going now, bye!” Baekhyun said and ran to the desk to check out the book he wanted.
Chanyeol smiled at how clumsy and cute Baekhyun looked.
……
“Yixing, look behind you. Is he your type?” Kris asked. “He’s been looking at you since the last ten minutes.” He added.
Yixing turned and looked at the guy Kris was talking about. He hates it whenever Kris was trying to set him up with another guy. Well, he’s not bad though. His skin a little tanned, with hair dyed into a chestnut brown color, the tall figure stood there and stared back at Yixing when Yixing turned to take a look at him.
Yixing turned back to Kris and gave him a smack on the forehead.
“Idiot.” He said.
“I’m so sorry guys! I totally forget about you guys.” Baekhyun said, sitting down beside Kris.
“How could you forget about us?” Yixing asked.
“I was looking for some books in the library and totally forgot about it.” He said with an apologetic smile.
“Anyway… Back to topic Yixing.” Kris said, looking back at Yixing.
“What? What were you guys talking about?” Baekhyun asked, sipping on Yixing’s Pepsi.
“That guy there is looking at Yixing.” Kris told Baekhyun.
Baekhyun looked at where Kris was talking about and then at Yixing. “He’s hot.” Baekhyun said.
“Shut up.” Yixing said, trying to ignore his two friends.
“Uh oh, don’t panic now because he’s walking this way.” Baekhyun said.
“What?” Yixing asked, not even dared to turn his head to look.
“Hey.” The guys said and sat down beside Yixing, eyes still on him. “I’m Kai.”
“Hi…” Yixing didn’t know what to react, he keeps eyeing Kris for help but Kris was too busy smirking at him.
“I see that you have realized that I was staring at you, so let me just cut to the chase. Will you go out with me?” Kai asked and Yixing’s eyes widen.
“Excuse me?” Yixing said.
“Will you be my boyfriend? I’ve seen you danced before and I think that you’re great.” Kai said.
Yixing turned to Baekhyun and Kris and the both of them just stared at him back. Sure Kai is hot but this is all too sudden. He didn’t even know anything about Kai, he’s a perfect stranger to him. He was about to reject him but he suddenly thought of Kris, he likes him but Kris will never feel the same.
“I guess we can give it a shot.” Yixing said and it’s Kai’s turn to be shocked.
“Wow I expected you to say no because we barely know each other.” Kai said.
Yixing just smiled. Baekhyun gave him a kick under the table and stared at him.
“Okay then… Here’s my number. Call me.” Kai said and gave Yixing a piece of paper scribbled with his number. “I’ll be waiting.” He said and walked away.
“Are you crazy?” Baekhyun asked as soon as Kai went out of the cafeteria.
“What?” Yixing asked.
“Do you even know him?” Baekhyun asked.
“Calm down Baekhyun. I just said I’ll give it a shot. Besides, don’t you think that it’s a great opportunity to have a high school love story?” Yixing asked.
“You’re out of your mind. Kris, help me convince him.” Baekhyun said, rolling his eyes.
“Good luck Yixing.” Kris said and Baekhyun scoffed at Kris.
“You two are crazy.” He said and sighed. “Well… Fine, have fun on your first date.” He added.
Yixing stared at the paper Kai had given him. He smiled, maybe, just maybe, he can forget about his feelings for Kris when he’s with Kai.
……
“I’m back.” Kris said when he entered his apartment, throwing the keys onto the coffee table before slumping onto the couch.
“You never listen!” Someone shouted from the kitchen.
Kris sighed. He is going to suffer now. He switches on the television and stared at it. A few moments later, a guy that was still wearing his pajamas walked out of the kitchen, his face full of tear streaks.
“Fighting again?” Kris asked, eyes still glued to the television.
“Kris waaaaaaaa!” Luhan called him and suddenly broke into tears. He walked up to Kris and sat down beside him, hugging him and burying his face into his chest. “He just won’t listen, what should I do?” Luhan asked.
Kris immediately knows what happened. Luhan must have argued with Sehun over the phone and they must have yelled at each other, talking about breaking up.
Luhan is Kris’s cousin and the two of them shared the apartment together.
“Is this the reason that you skipped school today?” Kris asked. He didn’t know what to do and Luhan was just wiping his tears on Kris’s uniform.
Luhan sniffed hard and look up at Kris. He stared at him and Kris sighed. He stood up and went to the kitchen, pouring Luhan a cup of water and walked back to the living room.
“What’s wrong this time?” Kris asked, handing Luhan the cup.
“He just won’t listen to me. I’ve told him to stop and he didn’t want to.” Luhan said.
“Stop? Stop what? What is he doing this time?” Kris asked.
“He’s going for illegal racing Kris, illegal racing! What is he thinking about? Did he even think about me? Did he even consider my feelings and opinion? No! He just does whatever he fucking wants and leave me worrying about him every single fucking time!” Luhan swore and shouted.
“Luhan, Luhan calm down…” Kris said, holding his cousin’s shoulders. “Look at me.” He said and looked him in the eyes. “Did you try reasoning with him? Tell him how you feel?”
“Yes! I’ve done everything! I asked him to come back to school but he just doesn’t listen to me. Oh Kris, what am I supposed to do?” Luhan said, burying his face into his hands.
“Luhan… I… Oh god.” Kris really didn’t know what to do. He isn’t very good at comforting people and he really needed help. He picks up his phone and the first person that came to his mind is Yixing. He dialed Yixing’s number and asked him to come over. At least Yixing is better at comforting people than he is.
Ten minutes later, Yixing appeared at their front door, holding bubble teas and cakes to cheer Luhan up but it didn’t work. It only made Luhan sadder. Yixing then pulled Luhan into Luhan’s bedroom and tells him to just let everything out.
Kris can hear loud sobbing and shouting from the room. He shrugged and just sat on the couch, wondering what happened to Sehun. He isn’t someone who would do this to his beloved Luhan. A few moments later, Yixing came out of the room with a relieved expression.
“Did you manage to calm him down?” He asked.
“No but at least he’s asleep now.” Yixing said, sitting beside Kris.
“I don’t know what to do with him. Thanks for coming by, want to go have dinner?” Kris asked.
“No thanks. I’ve got myself a date.” Yixing said and smiled.
“Whoa… With that Kai?” He asked.
“Yeah.” Yixing said and checked his watch. “Got to run now, bye.” He said and walked towards the front door. “Try not to mention anything that has relation with Sehun to Luhan for now. He might shout and throw things at you.” He said before going out.
Kris sighed. Another tough day. He doesn’t know why but he’s having a weird feeling when Yixing said that he had a date with Kai. What is this feeling?
……
It’s Saturday, and Baekhyun was holding tons of heavy books, walking towards Chanyeol’s apartment. He knocked on the door and waited for Chanyeol to answer. He waited and waited but there was no answer.
“Hmm… Is this the right place?” He asked himself. He took out his phone and checked the message that Chanyeol had send him, it’s here alright. But why is Chanyeol not answering the door? He called Chanyeol’s phone and after a few rings, someone picked up.
“Hello?” Chanyeol said in a sleepy voice.
“It’s Baekhyun, are you at home now?” He asked.
“Oh god. I’ll be at the door in a moment.” Chanyeol said and Baekhyun can hear him cursing.
He stood and waited for another few minutes and the door finally opened, revealing a still half asleep Chanyeol, his hair messy like a bird’s nest, and he’s wearing a white t-shirt with Doraemon pattern pajama pants. Chanyeol grin when he saw Baekhyun and ask him to go in.
“I’m sorry I just overslept.” Chanyeol said revealing his white teeth.
“It’s already 10a.m Chanyeol.” Baekhyun said.
“I usually sleep in on weekends.” Chanyeol said, a little embarrassed. “Oh, let me just cleaned up this place a little.” Chanyeol added, pushing away clothes, rubbish and books that were on the floor.
“How can you live like this?” Baekhyun asked, picking up a pizza box from the couch.
“Well, I don’t know but I just can.” Chanyeol said.
“That’s it. I can’t possibly tutor you like this. I’m cleaning this place up.” Bakhyun said, he can’t stand even the view of Chanyeol’s apartment.
“Oh you don’t have to, I’ll do it later.” Chanyeol said.
“By later you mean never.” Baekhyun said and sighed. “Did you have breakfast yet?” He asked at the smiling Chanyeol.
“Now that you’ve mention it… I’m feeling a little hungry.” He said. “Let me just cook some ramyun and we’re good to go.”
“You eat ramyun for breakfast?” Baekhyun couldn’t believe the guy standing in front of him.
“Yeah, why not? There’s once I ate tteokbokki for breakfast.” Chanyeol said with a blank expression.
“You go wash up, I’ll make breakfast.” Baekhyun said. He just can’t stand the way Chanyeol is living.
Chanyeol smiled and thanked Baekhyun. He went straight to the bathroom and took a shower. Baekhyun opened the fridge and was shocked that how well the fridge is stocked. He expected it’ll be almost empty but there’s everything inside, eggs, vegetable, meat, fish, everything that you were supposed to have in the fridge is in the fridge. He took out two eggs and a few bacons and started frying them.
Chanyeol walked out of the bathroom a few moments later with the towel over his head, his hair still dripping with water. He went straight to the kitchen and stood beside Baekhyun.
“Yum, haven’t had these in a while now.” He said.
“Doesn’t your girlfriend make them for you?” Baekhyu asked. Well he just assumed that he had one since the fridge so stocked so well.
“Girlfriend? I don’t have one.” Chanyeol said, staring at Baekhyun.
“Then why is your fridge so well stocked?” Baekhyun asked.
“Oh, my mum would come over every Friday to fill it up. She’s just worried that I might starve to death you know.” Chanyeol said and chuckled.
“Oh…” Baekhyun said, feeling a little happy.
Breakfast went well with Baekhyun sipping on hot coffee and Chanyeol munching away happily. He keeps on praising Baekhyun and Baekhyun just blushed.
“Should we start cleaning now?” Baekhyun asked while Chanyeol was washing the dishes.
“But you’ve bought all the books here, are you sure you want to clean up instead of tutoring me?” Chanyeol asked.
“Come on I can still bring them over tomorrow.” Baekhyun said, but he have to admit, it’s a little annoying to carry heavy books and have to climb up the stairs to Chanyeol’s apartment.
“Or, you can just leave them here.” Chanyeol said.
“Huh, didn’t think of that. Maybe I should.” Baekhyun said and went to look for huge garbage bags, brooms and some cleaning tools they’ll need.
They began cleaning with Baekhyun throwing out rubbish and Chanyeol stacking the books and arranging them back to the shelves. Baekhyun was impressed by the amount of manga Chanyeol has, mostly about basketball.
“Don’t you think that these characters in the manga look like duizhang?” Chanyeol asked, flipping open one of the pages.
“What I can tell you is Kris is not that dreamy, he’s just weird.” Baekhyun said.
“Huh, but he seems mysterious and cool every time.” Chanyeol said, putting the book back.
“Yeah… More like clumsy and dumb.” Baekhyun said and Chanyeol laughed.
“He’s so gonna kill you if he knows that.” Chanyeol said.
“And you’re so dead if you tell him.” Baekhyun said.
They ended up cleaning for almost three hours. Chanyeol’s apartment looked a lot better than before now. Baekhyun was tired and he just sat on the couch.
“Thanks Baekhyun, it really does look better now.” Chanyeol said but he didn’t get any response from Baekhyun.
He turned around and saw Baekhyun had already fallen asleep on the couch. Chanyeol chuckled. The midget in front of him sure is cute despite that he is scary at times.
……
“Sehunnie?” Luhan answered his phone in a hurry when he saw that it was from Sehun.
“Lulu… I’m sorry. I should not have yelled at you that day. I should not have asked for a break up. I’m sorry.” Sehun said.
“Where are you now?” Luhan asked.
“I’m umm… working.” He said.
“Working? Why are you working?” Luhan asked, his boyfriend is acting weirder and weirder.
“I’ll explain everything when I have time. Got to go Lulu, I’ll call you. Love you.” Sehun said.
“Sehun!” Luhan didn’t have a chance to react and Sehun has already hung up.
“Luhan? Can I come in?” Kris asked.
“Yeah, sure.” Luhan said, wiping away his tears because he didn’t want Kris to know that he had been crying.
“Are you okay?” Kris asked.
“Of course I’m okay, why wouldn’t I be okay?” Luhan asked, forcing himself to smile.
“You sure?” Kris asked again.
“Of course!”
“Well Yixing called and asked us to go have lunch with him and Kai. If you don’t want to I’ll call him back and tell him we’re not going.” Kris said.
“Let’s go. I wanted to see Yixing and his so called boyfriend.” Luhan said and smiled.
“Okay… You might want to tidy yourself up, you look awful.” Kris said and went out of Luhan’s room.
Luhan was taken aback by Kris’s words and he immediately went to take a look of himself in front of his mirror. Oh Lord, he does look awful. His eyes were puffy from all that crying, his hair in a mess and his clothes, don’t even mention his clothes.
He quickly tidy up himself and applied some base makeup to cover up his puffy eyes and face. He went out of his room and saw Kris was already waiting for him at the door.
“Come on slowpoke.” Kris teased him and immediately receives a punch on the arm from Luhan.
Kris actually didn’t want to go, he wanted to use Luhan as an excuse of not going but Luhan agrees to go. He admits that he felt a little jealous that Yixing is dating Kai. He just didn’t want to admit that he has feeling for Yixing.
So they went to the restaurant that they would always go. Baekhyun was already there, waiting for them. He waved at Kris and Luhan as soon as he sees them.
“Hey you two. Luhan, long time no see.” He said.
“You’re exaggerating Baekhyun. It’s only two days.” Luhan said.
“Where’s Yixing and Kai?” Kris asked.
“They’re not here yet.” Baekhyun said and sighed. He was bored waiting for them and for some reason, he was missing that tall giant who he just met yesterday. He was embarrassed when he woke up next to Chanyeol on the couch yesterday evening. They were so close to each other and his heart was pounding like crazy.
“I’m sorry we’re late!” They heard Yixing’s voice and turned around. Kai was standing next to him with his hands in his pocket.
Yixing was smiling so happily that it hurts Kris to see him. He must be happy to be with Kai.
“The lovebirds are here.” Baekhyun teased.
They order their lunch and they begin talking and laughing at each other’s jokes. Yixing keeps on talking about how silly Kris was when they were in elementary school and Kris would do the same. Those made Kai feel uneasy and jealous. Yixing is his boyfriend, not Kris’s.
“Excuse me for a moment, I need to use the bathroom.” Luhan said, standing up. He walked towards the bathroom and he spotted a familiar figure. The blonde hair guy was not hard to spot at all. “Sehun.” He mumbled to himself.
He walked closer but stopped when he saw Sehun was sitting with another girl. His hands on the table and the girl’s hand wrapped around it. She was looking at Sehun with a loving gaze and Sehun was looking at the table.
Luhan couldn’t accept the reality and he panicked. He walked back to their table and stare into blank.
“Luhan? What’s wrong?” Kris asked.
“I saw Sehun… holding hands with another girl.” Luhan whispered.
“Are you sure?” Kris asked.
“I’m fucking sure Wu Yifan!” He said and stood up, the next thing they know, Luhan was already running out of the restaurant, leaving a shocked Baekhyun, Kai and Yixing staring at Kris.
“I should go chase after him.” Kris said and ran out of the restaurant too.
“Well… That means it’s just us three then.” Baekhyun said, he was feeling a little awkward and uneasy. “Maybe I should leave you two alone.” He said.
Yixing nodded and Baekhyun smiled apologetically.
“Should we get going too?” He asked Kai and Kai nodded.
Baekhyun called Kris’s phone but there was no answer. He was getting worried over Luhan and he didn’t know what to do. He then remembered that he was supposed to go to Chanyeol’s place after lunch but he didn’t feel like it. He called Chanyeol to tell him that he wasn’t feeling well.
“Chanyeol, I’m sorry but I can’t go over to your house today.” He said.
“Did something happen?” Chanyeol asked.
“Well I think so… I’m just not feeling well.” He said.
“Where are you?” Chanyeol asked.
“At the park near our school. Why?” He asked.
“Stay there. I’m going to find you.” He said.
“Chan...” He called but Chanyeol already hung up.
So he just sat under the big tree and waited for Chanyeol to show up.
“Hey!” He heard Chanyeol’s voice and looked up. Chanyeol was holding his guitar and he was smiling.
“Why did you bring that along?” Baekhyun asked.
“To cheer you up. I don’t know what happened but I guess you might need a friend to cheer you up now.” Chanyeol said.
“Thanks Chanyeol. I appreciate it.” He said and sighed.
Chanyeol started strumming his guitar while singing. Baekhyun just smiled at first but he soon was singing together with him. He likes the way Chanyeol sings, not only that, he can rap and beat box too. They ended up spending the whole day together, singing and making up ridiculous rap lyrics. Baekhyun was slowly falling for that giant in front of him.
……
“Are you really that close to Kris?” Kai asked while walking Yixing back home.
“I think so, we’ve been best friends since elementary school.” Yixing said.
“Oh… Yixing, please don’t get that close to him.” Kai said.
“Why? He’s my friend.”
“You’re my boyfriend!” Kai said in a rather loud voice and that startled Yixing. “I’m sorry Xing… I’m just jealous that he knows so much about you.” Kai said.
“It’s alright. He’s just a friend Kai.” Yixing said, smiling to his boyfriend. He was actually hurting from the inside, he hated himself to pretend to even love Kai, but he doesn’t. The person he loved is Kris.
“So I’ll see you at school tomorrow.” Kai said.
“Yeah… See you tomorrow.” Yixing said and went inside.
His phone rang as soon as he entered the house. It was Kris.
“Hello?” Yixing answered.
“Have you seen Luhan? Has he contacted you?” Kris asked, he was panting.
“No, he didn’t. What happened? Is he not at home?” Yixing asked.
“No, I’ve looked everywhere, he’s nowhere to be found.” Kris said.
“Maybe he will go home later, you better wait for him at home.” Yixing suggested. “Keep calm Kris.”
“How can I keep calm? He’s my cousin! And now he’s missing, oh god where could he be?” Kris said, he’s very worried about Luhan.
“Kris! Everything will be fine, just keep calm.” Yixing said in a soft voice. “Where are you now?” He asked.
“I’m at our apartment. I’m still waiting for Luhan.” He said. “Oh my god, Luhan! Yixing, I’ll call you back later!” He said and hung up. And now Yixing is nervous. He hesitated and walked out of his house, running towards Kris’s and Luhan’s apartment.
Luhan had been drinking. He was drunk and Kris was shocked at how he managed to even get back home.
“Who need that Oh Sehun anyway…? I’m better off without him.” Luhan said.
“Luhan, you’re drunk. Come on let’s go up.” Kris said, holding Luhan to prevent him from falling.
“I am not drunk! I am very sober.” Luhan said.
“Yeah, you can’t even stand properly. Come on.” Kris said and pulled Luhan into their apartment.
Luhan fell asleep immediately when Kris threw him on his bed. Kris’s was heartbroken to see his cousin like this. This is all because of that Oh Sehun. He was taking off Luhan’s shoes when he heard the doorbell ringing.
“Who could it be?” He mumbled to himself, walking towards the door to open it.
“Kris! Where’s Luhan? His is he?” Yixing asked, bursting into the room.
“Yixing? What are you doing here?” Kris asked.
“I’m worried about Luhan.” Yixing said.
“He’s in there, sleeping like a log.” Kris said.
“Thank god he’s safe.” Yixing said, peeking into Luhan’s room.
“It’s all because of Sehun he’s like that.” Kris said, his hands clenched into fists.
“Calm down Kris, what actually happened? Why did Luhan ran out of the restaurant just now?” Yixing asked.
“He said he saw Sehun with another girl. I’m not very sure myself.” Kris said.
“See, we shouldn’t jump into conclusion.” Yixing said.
Luhan’s phone started ringing and Kris went and answered it.
“Hello?”
“Hello, is this Mr. Xi Luhan?” A female asked.
“It’s his phone but he’s currently busy at the moment. May I help you?”
“We’re calling from the Seoul Hospital; do you know Mr. Oh Sehun?”
“Yes, we know him. Did something happen to him?” Kris asked.
“Well you see, he was involved in a car accident and now he’s undergoing surgery. We checked his phone and found out that the person he last called was Mr. Xi Luhan. We wanted to ask you to come to the hospital now.” The nurse said.
“Oh my god…” Kris was lost for words.
“What?” Yixing asked, he was about to die from all that anxiety.
“Sehun is in the hospital.” Kris told him. “We’ll be right there.” He told the nurse and hung up.
“We need to wake Luhan up.” Yixing said.
“No, what if Sehun… What if…” Kris can’t finish his sentence.
“Shut up Kris, he won’t. Sehun won’t.” Yixing said, he ran into Luhan’s room and woke him up. Luhan was still a little drunk and it took him a moment for him to fully understand what Yixing said.
“What?!” He stood up. “I need to go now!” He said and ran towards the door, almost stumbling.
“I’ll drive you guys there.” Kris said, holding up his car keys.
They reached the hospital after five minutes and Luhan dashed into the building. He ran up to the desk and asked for Sehun’s ward number. He ran and made Yixing and Kris chase after him. He reached the ward and pushed the door and went in. He saw the doctor and nurse were talking to Sehun.
Sehun immediately sat up with difficulty when he saw Luhan, he’s happy to his boyfriend.
“How is he?” Luhan asked the doctor.
“He’s doing fine. We have managed to stabilize his blood pressure and stopped the internal bleeding. He’ll be alright now.” The doctor said and Luhan let out a sigh of relief. “Thank you doctor.” He said and the doctor nodded.
“Luhan…” Sehun called when he saw Luhan, he was smiling, he had totally forget about the pain he had just now while having the surgery.
“You idiot! You idiot! You idiot! You jerk! I hate you!” Luhan shouted and hit Sehun.
“Oww! What was that for?” Sehun asked and looked at Kris and Yixing.
“That’s for cheating you jerk! And that’s for making me worried!” Luhan said, continue hitting Sehun.
“Cheating?” Sehun looked shocked. “What are you talking about?” He asked.
“Don’t act like you don’t know.” Kris said. “Luhan saw you in the restaurant with another girl. She was holding your hand.”
“That was my cousin!” Sehun said, defending himself. “She was just trying to stop me when I said I was going to race against five racers. Now racing, that was a stupid idea.”
“Why did you not listen to me? That’s what happens when you don’t listen to me!” Luhan said, with tears streaming down his cheeks.
“I… Needed money to help my mum. My dad, he went gambling again and he owes a lot of people money. I can’t just look at my mum work her ass of for that jerk! I am her son and I want to help her. I saw those ads where they say that if I win this race, they’ll give me five thousand dollars. With that money, I can at least help my mum.” Sehun said.
“Why didn’t you tell me?” Luhan asked.
“I didn’t want to bother you. Besides, this is my dad’s fault, it has nothing to do with any of you.” He said and receives a slap from Luhan.
“Oh Sehun! I am your boyfriend! Why are you talking like I am a stranger to you? Of course is has something to do with me because you are my boyfriend! You made me worried sick about you and now you’re telling that I have nothing to do with you? How could you?” Luhan said, he’s crying again.
Sehun cupped Luhan’s cheeks and pulled him in for a kiss. Kris and Yixing decided to leave the both of them alone and they went out.
“Sorry for dragging you together.” Kris said.
“Not to worry Kris, besides Sehun’s my friend too, of course I’ll be worried.” Yixing said and smiled.
“I should drive you home.” Kris said, trying hard not to look at Yixing’s smile because that’s going to make him fall harder for him.
“We’re just going to leave Luhan here?” He asked.
“He’ll call me when he needs me.” Kris said.
……
“Why didn’t you answer your phone yesterday when I called?” Kai asked.
“I’m sorry; I was in the hospital so I need to put in on silent.” Yixing said.
“Hospital? What happened?” Kai asked, standing up and walked to Yixing.
“It’s nothing, Luhan’s boyfriend got in an accident and we’re just there to see him.” Yixing said.
“We? You mean you and Kris?” Kai asked.
“And Luhan.” Yixing added.
“I thought I told you not to get that close with him.” Kai said.
“Luhan is like family, and Sehun is my friend, I can’t just don’t care about them.” Yixing said.
“You are my boyfriend; you listen to what I said.” Kai said and he looked serious.
Yixing thinks that Kai was being ridiculous, why would he get jealous over him being with Kris? He’s already Kai’s boyfriend Kris has his own girlfriend. And Kai, he’s feeling very jealous and angry at the same time. Yixing is his, and only his, he love Yixing and he doesn’t want anyone to touch him. Kai didn’t know that he was being over possessive and sometimes his actions scares Yixing.
Yixing’s phone rang, it was from Kris. Kai grabbed it before Yixing could answer it and glared at it.
“You can’t answer this.” He said and rejects the call.
“What if there’s something important?” Yixing asked.
“He has nothing to do with you anymore!” Kai said and he pushed Yixing, pinning him at the wall. “You are mine.” He said and walked out of Yixing’s apartment, slamming the door behind him.
Yixing was at shocked. Tears were streaming down his face, he was scared. He didn’t want Kai to go look for Kris and start a fight with him. Sure Kris is the basketball team’s captain, he is taller and he might win the fight over Kai but he doesn’t want them to fight. He doesn’t want Kris or Kai to get hurt because of him.
He called Kris.
“Why didn’t you answer my calls?” Kris asked.
“I was uhh… In the bathroom.” Yixing lied.
“What’s wrong? You don’t sound the same? Are you crying?” Kris asked.
“No. I umm sneezed just now and uhh you know, every time I sneeze, my voice changes.” Yixing said.
“Oh okay. Luhan’s going to cook something for Sehun and you know Luhan, I don’t want Sehun to be admitted to the hospital for another week because of Luhan’s cooking… So do you think you can come over and maybe help out a little?” Kris asked.
Yixing wanted to say yes in an instant, but he suddenly remembered what Kai had told him.
“I don’t think I could go Kris.” Yixing said.
Kris is not dumb; he can sense sadness in Yixing’s tone.
“Aww come on. You know how terrible Luhan’s cooking is. We’ll need to rush to the toilet and I don’t want poor Sehun to get another week of hospital food.” Kris said, using an aegyo voice, trying to cheer Yixing up.
Yixing couldn’t stand it whenever Kris uses aegyo over him. He just can’t resist it.
“Okay okay. I’ll go. Just tell Luhan to hold onto his cooking first.” Yixing said and laughed a little.
“Thank you Zhang Yixing. You are a life savior!” Kris said.
Yixing laughed and he quite forgot about the argument he had with Kai just now. The reason that Yixing is still going out with Kai is that although he’s a little possessive, he’s a nice guy. But the main reason is, he reminds Yixing a lot about Kris. His voice is deep just like Kris, he’s tall just like Kris and he can even rap, just like Kris.
Yixing knocked on Kris’s apartment door and Baekhyun opened the door.
“You’re here too?” Yixing asked.
“Yeah, Luhan dragged me here to be his guinea pig.” Baekhyun said and sighed. “Why are you here?” He asked.
“Kris wanted me to help Luhan out, you know, so you guys don’t have to suffer.” He said and winked.
“Thank god! Yah Park Chanyeol, we’re saved.” Baekhyun said.
“Hi!” Chanyeol said to Yixing who was staring at him.
“Hi, wait let me guess Baekhyun. He’s your boyfriend.” Yixing said and Baekhyun blushed and Chanyeol chuckled.
“Baekhyun’s my tutor and I came here because he was teaching me Math and suddenly duizhang called me and Luhan called Baekhyun.” Chanyeol said and Baekhyun nodded his head.
“Oh I see… Where are Kris and Luhan?” Yixing asked.
“At the balcony.” Baekhyun said and pointed. “And Luhan is in the kitchen.”
Yixing walked to the balcony to check on Kris, he was on the phone, talking to his girlfriend.
“I’m sorry but I have to end it.” Kris said and Yixing rolled his eyes. Another breakup.
“I have found someone else and I think that you deserve someone better than me.” Kris said and that made Yixing shocked. Kris would never say something like that.
He stared at Kris and wondered what’s wrong with him. He then proceed to the kitchen, his mind is still on Kris.
“Ah Yixing! You’re here! I was getting in trouble with the chicken; I can’t seem to cut it.” Luhan said and that made Yixing laughed.
Outside the living room, Chanyeol and Baekhyun was trying to solve one of Luhan’s Rubix cube while eavesdropping on Kris.
“Why is he always changing girlfriends?” Baekhyun asked.
“Beats me, maybe he really is too perfect for them.” Chanyeol said.
“Yeah right…” Baekhyun scoffed.
“Do you think your friend Sehun will like desserts? I can make them.” Chanyeol said suddenly.
“Desserts? The only desserts I’ve seen him have are bubble tea.” Baekhyun said.
“Bubble tea ain’t desserts Baek.” Chanyeol said.
Baekhyun likes it when Chanyeol calls him Baek. He thinks that it’s the name that only Chanyeol can use.
“Well then Yeol, explain the desserts you know.” Baekhyun said and Chanyeol blushed.
“Desserts like pudding, Crème Brulee, Leche Flan, and some others.” Chanyeol said.
“Huh? I only heard pudding and only pudding.” Baekhyun said with a confused expression.
“Never mind. I’ll try making it later then you’ll know what that is.” Chanyeol said and smiled.
……
“Thanks for coming over today. You saved all of our intestines.” Kris said and Yixing chuckled.
“It’s alright, I really enjoy helping Luhan though.” Yixing said.
“There, we’re here.” Kris said, he had volunteered to send Yixing home, their house is just a few blocks away so he just walked him home.
“Thanks Kris.” Yixing said.
“Hey, is everything all right with Kai? You do look a little pale nowadays.” Kris said.
“Everything’s fine. Don’t worry.” Yixing said with a smile.
“You know you can’t lie to me.” Kris said.
“It’s really nothing. Couples fight you know.” Yixing said.
“If he is bullying you I swear I’ll beat him up.” Kris said, cracking his knuckles.
“Go home Kris, it’s getting late.” Yixing said with a chuckle.
“Okay… You take care.” Kris said and watch Yixing walked into the building and into the elevator.
Kris didn’t leave. He went into the building too and went on the other elevator. He knows something is not right and he wants to know what. His elevator reached Yixing’s floor first because the elevator that Yixing used had stopped on a few floors. He saw Yixing coming out of the elevator and opened the door and went it.
Yixing was shocked to see the lights in his apartment are on. He looked around saw Kai sitting by the counter.
“Hey, didn’t see you there. What are you doing here?” He asked and went over to Kai.
“You were over at Kris’s place aren’t you?” Kai asked, standing up.
“I… How did you know?” Yixing asked.
Kai went over the window and opened the curtains. He can see clearly that Kris had walked Yixing home.
“Luhan needed my help so I just went and help him.” Yixing said.
“And have Kris to walk you back? You could have called me and I could have went and fetch you.” He said.
“He’s just a friend, why are you over reacting so much?” Yixing asked.
“Me? Over reacting?” Kai shouted and pushed Yixing. Yixing’s head knocked the wall hard and he was feeling a little dizzy, he blacked out a while later.
Kris overheard everything and he burst through Yixing’s unlocked apartment door.
“What have you done?” He asked Kai when he saw the unconscious Yixing.
“None of your business! Yixing is mine and I shall deal with him.” Kai said.
Kris couldn’t hold it in anymore, he went over and gave Kai a punch in the face.
“You leave Yixing alone you hear me? From now onwards, Yixing has nothing to do with you because now he belongs to Wu Yifan!” Kris said and Kai stared at him.
“Yixing is my boyfriend, you’re just gonna snatch him away from me?” Kai asked. “Do you even love him?”
“Yes! I have loved him for god knows how many years!” Kris said and Kai’s eyes widen.
“Fine… Since you love him that much, take him.” Kai said and walked out of the door. He love Yixing too but he realized that he had hurt Yixing and he is touched by Kris’s love towards Yixing. He shouldn’t stand in between the anymore.
Kris went over and picked Yixing up, putting him on the couch.
“Yixing? Yixing?” He called.
Yixing’s eyes opened slowly and he was shocked to see Kris.
“What are you doing here? I thought you went home?” Yixing asked.
“I was worried.” Kris said. “And good thing I followed you up here.” He said and Yixing kept quiet.
“Why didn’t you tell me he was a jerk?” Kris asked.
“Because I love you and he reminds me of you and I know you’ll never feel the same.” Yixing said, trying to hold in his tears.
“Yixing… Do you know why I keep changing girlfriends?” He asked and Yixing shook his head. “It’s because I love you and I’m afraid to cross the line. And those girls, none of them can give me the feelings I had when I’m with you.” Kris said.
“And the person you were talking about with your ex-girlfriend was me?” Yixing asked.
“You were listening?” Kris asked.
“It was an accident.” Yixing said and Kris smiled.
“Yeah, it was you.”
Yixing was touched. He hugged Kris and buried his face in his broad chest, crying.
“Kris… I should have told you earlier. I love you.” Yixing said and Kris lifts his chin.
“Me too… I love you.” Kris said and gave Yixing a kiss on the lips and Yixing kiss him back.
……
“Park Chanyeol, yah! PARK CHANYEOL!” Baekhyun shouted.
“I’m awake! I’m awake!” Chanyeol said while sitting up straight.
“Are you doing Chemistry or are you drooling all over your book?” Baekhyun asked.
“Sorry Baek. I’m a little sleepy, I didn’t quite sleep well last night.” Chanyeol said.
“What were you doing last night?” Baekhyun asked, a little annoyed. “Did you stay up the whole night playing with your PS3 again?”
“No, I did not.”
“If you’re not going to pay attention or even bother to stay awake when I’m tutoring you, I think I’m going home.” Baekhyun said.
“Wait! Don’t go, I have something for you.” Chanyeol said and Baekhyun looked at him.
“What?”
“Hold on.” Chanyeol said and went out of the room. He returns a few minutes later, holding something on his hand. “I was trying to make this last night for you, since you said you haven’t tried it before.” He was holding on to the Crème Brulee that he had promised Baekhyun he would make.
“Yeol… You didn’t have too.” Baekhyun said, suddenly feeling bad for accusing Chanyeol just now.
“But I did. Hehe here, try some and tell me how you think.” He said, giving Baekhyun a spoon. Baekhyun ate it and looked at Chanyeol with his eyes widen.
“This is great Chanyeol!” He said. “You’re a great dessert maker!”
“I can make these for you always if you want.” Chanyeol said.
“Can you really?” Baekhyun asked.
“On one condition.” Chanyeol said and gave Baekhyun a kiss. Baekhyun was shocked at Chanyeol’s sudden action. He hesitated but he kisses him back too. “Be my boyfriend.” Chanyeol whispered at Baekhyun’s lips.
“Deal.” Baekhyun said and pulled Chanyeol in for another kiss.
“Do you know why I wanted you to tutor me?” Chanyeol asked.
“Because I’m smart?” Baekhyun asked.
“Because I have a crush on you and didn’t know how to approach you so I faked it, wanting you to tutor me so I can get closer to you.” Chanyeol said and Baekhyun pouted.
“You could have just tell me you idiot.” Baekhyun said and gave Chanyeol a punch on the chest.
Being the reaction king he is, Chanyeol reacted to Baekhyun’s punch and yelped, making Baekhyun shocked and immediately started to massage his chest.
“Oh my god, I’m sorry Yeollie!” Baekhyun said.
“Just kidding, it doesn’t hurt.” Chanyeol said and received another kick on the butt from Baekhyun.
……
“Are you sure this isn’t going to kill me?” Sehun asked, looking at the food that Luhan had bought for him.
“Yah what do you mean by that?” Luhan asked.
“The last time I had your food made me had diarrhea for a week.” Sehun said and received a glare from Luhan.
“Yixing helped me with this and Chanyeol made that dessert, if you don’t want it then fine, I’ll eat it myself.” Luhan said and began eating.
“Hey hey… I didn’t say I don’t want it.” Sehun said, holding Luhan’s hand.
“I hate you do you know that?” Luhan asked.
“Yeah, and I hate you too.” Sehun said and pulled Luhan in for a kiss. A sweet kiss that had the taste of Chanyeol’s Leche Flan.
They were interrupted but two pair of couple walking in, each holding hands with their partner.
“Whoa… What have I missed?” Sehun asked, looking at the other couples. “Kris with Yixing and Baekhyun with Chanyeol?”
“Shut up, you have Luhan.” Baekhyun said and Sehun stick out his tongue at Baekhyun.
“Why you little….” Baekhyun said and started poking at Sehun’s waist.
So, the six friends laughed at each other and shared stories of how they became a couple. It was fun too look at the constant bickering between Baekhyun and Sehun and the loving couple of Kris and Yixing.
