Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.

Why is the clock ticking exceptionally slow every Economics and Management class? Chanyeol wants to fucking get out of this lecture hall right now. It's too boring-- everything is boring, the subject, his classmates, and especially the old professor lady who keeps on blabbering about how they should fucking ace her midterms or else they're gonna see her ugly face again next semester, is very boring.

Chanyeol doesn't miss the wink that old hog shot him when she said that.

Disgusting.

It's not for Park Chanyeol to strive so hard in college though, because everybody knows he doesn't have to do that. He is extremely perfect in all he does without him trying, and he even got the highest rank in their department-- the student body president. Again.

He didn't even try to get that to say the least. The student body gave that position to him, just like in high school. Teachers and students love (lust) him. He's not just smart. He has this eloquent nature in him added to his dropdead gorgeous as fuck appearance he never wished for.

Not to mention the thing he is best at.

He's fucking good in bed.

"Finally," Chanyeol says softly as soon as he leaves the hall. The class has been dismissed.

He opens his phone quick and calls Baekhyun, because it has been their daily routine. Since they are going to different schools now, Chanyeol has to call him after his classes end so that they can go home together like what normal couples do.

Except for one thing. Chanyeol is not one of those normal boyfriends in many different levels. He is quite unconventional, that Baekhyun is the only one who understands him completely.

Something is a bit off today, because Baekhyun is not there in his usual spot in front of the university gates. He is supposed to be standing right there at the small corner, smiling brightly and waiting for Chanyeol to come out. He should be there by now.

But he's not there.

And he's also not picking up Chanyeol's calls.

Chanyeol stops for a while with his backpack slung loosely on his right shoulder, and stares at the open space as if he was analyzing it intently.

Baekhyun is not really there.

He waits for a few seconds like a rock.

But Baekhyun is still not really there.

Where the fuck is he?

"Did you lost something?" the school guard asks, approaching the tall guy who has been staring at a corner for an entire minute now.

Chanyeol faces the school guard, and opens his mouth to ask about Baekhyun, but he quickly averts his eyes, as though he suddenly hesitated.

"Oh, it's you," the man says when he recognizes Chanyeol's face. "The mighty Chanyeol."

The man looks around, looking for someone in particular.

"That pretty high school boy who's waiting for you everyday," the school guard says. "He's not here yet?"

"And how do you know that?"

"I watch people walk in and out of the front gates everyday. I already memorized all of your faces," the man says while laughing. "That boy, you're looking for him, aren't you?"

"You know, you should just mind your own business," Chanyeol mutters as he clears his throat. "And I'm not looking for Baekhyun."

The school guard just shakes his head, and returns to his post with a shrug.

"Does he still have classes right now," Chanyeol mutters to himself, lowkey glancing in front of his alma matter, a.k.a. Baekhyun's school.

Chanyeol is not supposed to be here, standing outside the gates with his neck craned up high. He is not supposed to be the one waiting for Baekhyun outside his old school, because that is not his job. Baekhyun is in-charge of the cheesy stuff and he is in-charge of the hot stuff in their relationship.

But now what? Chanyeol is here, looking like a gentleman boyfriend ready to fetch his girlfriend from school. Not really Park Chanyeol's style.

Students might recognize him here, and ask him what he was doing here. And he might end up telling them he was waiting for someone, and that is Baekhyun, and they might ask who Baekhyun is, and Chanyeol might end up answering them that Baekhyun is his motherfucking slut so they should fuck off and get on with their lives.

Chanyeol doesn't want that to happen. He just wants to see Baekhyun no matter how he denies it to himself. He wants to see him if he's still breathing or what.

This is not working, so maybe he should just go inside. Maybe he should pay his old school a visit, and that includes Baekhyun.

"Oh, it's Park Chanyeol!" girl one says to girl two. "The former student council president, right?"

"What is he doing here?" girl two replies back, "Is he looking for someone?"

"Maybe his girlfriend?"

"Nah, he has a boyfriend you know. He's gay."

"What, oh my god, who's the lucky boy?"

Chanyeol turns to the two girls and shoots them a cold look. He is about to tell them to go to hell, but he restrains himself because they are girls and he should be nice to girls.

Instead, he just smiles a little, making the girls caught off guard.

"What grade are you in?"

The girls exchange looks.

"We're in 12th grade," girl one answers.

Chanyeol nods. "Do you know where your class rep is?"

"Class rep?"

"Don't tell me you don't know who your class representative is."

"Oh right. Baekhyun-oppa!" girl one says as he blushes. She points at their left. "I saw him earlier walking to that direction with some guys."

Chanyeol raises an eyebrow. Oppa? Some guys?

"Do you know who the guys are?"

"No," girl two replies. "But they are fucking hot just like you!"

"Yeah! So handsome!"

Chanyeol is not amused.

"Really," the former president says as he gives both girls a death glare, "Get out of my face, you two."

The two girls scurry away, leaving Chanyeol furious as he strides towards the said direction.

It's a secluded part of the school just at the back of the quadrangle where Chanyeol finds himself, when he hears hushed voices.

"A-are you.. really sure nobody will see us here?"

"Yeah. I'm sure. It's P.E. class now and the teachers are not around."

Chanyeol is positive the other soft voice was Baekhyun's. What is Baekhyun doing here in this place? Who is that guy he is talking to over there and what the fuck are they supposed to do!?

Chanyeol clenches his fist, anger building up in him as he watches Baekhyun and the other guy.

"W-what if.. someone walks by and--"

"There's no one at this hour, I'm assuring you."

"O-okay.."

Chanyeol wants to laugh. He wants to fucking laugh because he thinks he already heard that conversation before. But nonetheless, he just wants to go right there, pull Baekhyun away and punch that asshole square on the face.

"So, take off your clothes now, Baekhyun," the other guy says into Baekhyun's ear, and Chanyeol's eyes widen, "and trust me."

"Okay."

"Very good."

Chanyeol can't just watch behind the bush and let that filthy douche touch his Baekhyun, his possession, so he finally makes a move and rapidly goes over to the two males like a flash.

Pulling Baekhyun away who is about to unbutton his shirt, Chanyeol lands a hard punch on the the bastard's face, making him collapse on the ground so hard his bones could break. Baekhyun gasps, very shocked of what's happening all of a sudden-- Chanyeol is right here from nowhere, he just punched his classmate, and he is so angry his eyes are turning red.

"Don't you dare touch Baekhyun," Chanyeol mutters in a low voice.

There is blood trickling down the guy's jaw because of the punch, and Chanyeol thinks that he deserves it. No one can touch Baekhyun except him, no one.

"CUT!!!" someone yells. "What the hell was that?"

Chanyeol pauses, and looks around the place only to see Sehun sitting on a director's chair, and a bunch of groaning people behind him. There is also a camera at the center aimed at him.

What the fuck.

"M-my face! Ouch! Why did you do that!?" the guy hisses at Chanyeol.

"Medic!" Baekhyun yells worriedly, and three people immediately comes over to the lying male to tend his wounds.

"All right, let's have a break first," Sehun announces, and everybody disperses out of somewhere.

Sehun gives Baekhyun a look, so Baekhyun claps his hands together to apologize. Slightly embarrassed, he quickly pulls a blank-faced Chanyeol at the side of the set, asking him how he got here in the first place.

"I just passed by," Chanyeol lies, when in fact he just wants to shout at Baekhyun, blame him for not answering his calls. They're in public so he has to maintain his composure.

"And I have to get something in my old office."

"I'm sorry, Chanyeol-sunbae," Baekhyun says gently, "I should've told you that we're gonna have a practice for the play. I apologize I didn't call you sooner..."

Chanyeol is mad, and Baekhyun's puppy-fucking-eyes are making him madder.

"I made you wait, didn't I? I'm sorry. I promise it won't happen again."

"It's fine," Chanyeol says, just to wave it off, "Tell that asshole I didn't really mean that... Even that guy tried to kiss you."

Baekhyun would be lying if he says his heart didn't flutter when Chanyeol did that, but he is still ashamed of the scene Chanyeol caused. Now he has to apologize to everybody, and also to Sehun, who is in-charge of the play.

"Are you..... mad?" Baekhyun carefully asks.

Chanyeol stares, and looks away shortly.

"Who wouldn't get mad."

"I'm really sorry... Taewoo didn't mean to do that. He's just following what's written on the script," Baekhyun mumbles.

"Taewoo?"

"Yeah. Taewoo is the guy you punched on the face," Baekhyun says as he tiny smiles, "He's on the same class as I am. I guess I should just apologize to him."

"Don't aplogize, he deserved it."

Baekhyun suddenly pulls Chanyeol's arm, as if he just remembered something. Tugging him to somewhere, Chanyeol just follows the shorter in confusion.

"Wait, what the fuck are you doing?"

"I'll introduce you to my new friends," Baekhyun giggles, dragging an awkward Chanyeol along. "They're nice, I hope you will like them."

"Whatever."

Baekhyun stops in front of a guy who is busy fiddling with his phone. He immediately notices the two, so he greets Baekhyun with a bright smile while Chanyeol gives him the exact opposite.

"He's our Music and Arts substitute teacher," Baekhyun says, "His name is Heechul and he is my friend. Heechul-hyung, this is Chanyeol."

Chanyeol turns to Baekhyun to give him a suspicious stare.

"So you're friends with your teacher?"

"Yeah, he is super cool! He's like my hyung!"

"Hi there," Heechul responds with a wave which Chanyeol returns with a poker face. "Are you Baekhyun's brother?"

Brother? Chanyeol wants to laugh at his motherfucking face.

"I'm his owner," Chanyeol blurts out straight, making Baekhyun frozen on his spot.

The substitute teacher just chuckles awkwardly, giving Chanyeol a weird look.

"So you like older guys?" Chanyeol scoffs as he rolls his eyes. "He's like your mother. God."

"But he plays LOL with me..."

"I told you to stop playing games. What the fuck."

Baekhyun is not listening anymore, as he resumes tugging the taller towards the table beside them. There are two fair-skinned males, both having ink-jet black hair. The other male is holding an icebag up to his face while the other one is laughing at him.

"Taewoo, are you alright?" Baekhyun asks his friend worriedly. "I'm sorry. Chanyeol-sunbae didn't mean to do that. I hope you understand..."

"It's nothing, Baekhyun. Don't worry. I'm still handsome, right?" Taewoo says with a grin, and Chanyeol thinks this guy seems to want to have another punch on his face. Chanyeol has no problem with that.

"This is Kim Taewoo, he's in the same dance club as Jongin. He's also our choreographer and he dances very well," Baekhyun tells excitedly that to Chanyeol by his side, who is not the least interested to what Baekhyun is talking about.

Who cares if this guy dances well, at least Chanyeol himself, he is good in bed and that's what matters the most.

"And that guy beside him, he is Jisoo. He's also our classmate and he's the Student Council's Vice President," Baekhyun explains while chuckling a little. "He replaced me."

"Hi, Chanyeol-sunbae," Jisoo greets with a curt nod, and Chanyeol doesn't really want to hear that from his mouth anymore in the future. He feels like he's going to puke.

"Just Chanyeol," Chanyeol replies with an emotionless expression.

"Oh, lastly, before I forgot! I know you already knew him but still, I wanna introduce him to you."

Baekhyun turns around and pulls a non-suspecting guy behind them. The male suddenly whines in the process as he is being pushed by Baekhyun.

"Ouch! Baekhyun, what the hell--"

"This is Sehun. He's my bestfriend," Baekhyun proudly says while grinning ear-to-ear as he holds Sehun by the arm. "And he's the new Student Council President."

Chanyeol chokes on his saliva. What? Did he hear it right?

"This guy? This fucking weirdo replaced me?"

"What, you got a problem with that?" Sehun blurts back. "You motherfucking---"

"Sehun!"

"Sorry, I just got too hyped up by this thing you call your boyfriend."

Chanyeol furrows his eyebrows in annoyance, because of all people that is close to Baekhyun, this is the guy whom he really hates. Sehun really gets on his nerves just by him looking at his face.

Sehun says nothing, because what the hell is he supposed to say? He's just looking at Chanyeol as if waiting for this to finally end.

"I hope you two would get along someday," Baekhyun hopefully says, answered by a loud NO! from both Sehun and Chanyeol.

Baekhyun just frowns to himself.

But it's nice though, Baekhyun says to himself, introducing his new friends to Chanyeol. At least Chanyeol knows whom he hangs out with everyday, and that they are nice people. He then thought that when Chanyeol and Luhan had left him, he was not going to make friends again. But that's wrong.

So the saying is actually right then, that when a door closes, another will open.

Too many things happend today, but the day won't be finished without them going home together. Baekhyun can still remember the first few months since they started dating, they seldom see each other in a week. But things gradually change, and that includes them seeing each other everyday after class.

"Chanyeol-sunbae?"

"What?"

They're walking to the subway together side by side, a meter apart from each other. Chanyeol likes to keep distance especially when they are in public, and Baekhyun understands that.

"Thank you for coming to school to see me," Baekhyun says with a smile. "And for saving me earlier."

He's not expecting for a reply as he watches Chanyeol just staring blankly ahead of the way, so he is mildly surprised when the taller opens his mouth and says:

"The cheesy stuff," Chanyeol says, and Baekhyun doesn't quite understand what he's talking about, "it can be my job too.... sometimes."
