Byun Baekhyun walking down the school hall. Stares and glares darted him all the way round. After a month of absentee from school, now he's back. Well, he didn't decided to go and study again. School will give him a lot of stress. Since he's pregnant with twins, he must homeschool himself for a moment until the children are born. He didn't decided to go back, instead he decided to drop himself out of school.

"Drop? W-What's going on, Byun Baekhyun?" The principal has Baekhyun's report cards and every informations about him in school. He checked every report cards, and there weren't nothing wrong with his marks and grades. He didn't understood why Baekhyun has to drop out of this school. He is one of the brightest students, according to the principal.

"Yes Sir. I already made up my mind, and will drop out of school. I couldn't afford that much, Sir. And I have personal reasons about dropping out of school, Sir." Said Baekhyun and nodded, maintaining his respect and steady voice throughout the conversation.

"Beg your pardon? Couldn't afford that much? Mr. Byun, since when did this happened? Your parents pay your tuition fees in this school, how come you're dropping out of school?" The principal interrogated. He was eager to find the reasons of Baekhyun dropping out of school, and maybe he could find some ways to help him. His job is to maintain this school's population and persuade more students to come and join their school community. Of course, he won't let Byun Baekhyun slip out of the school for unknown reasons. Additionally, he is a bright student that could represent the whole school.

"Sir, I am dropping out due to personal reasons. My parents don't pay my tuitions anymore. I am in financial problem state, and I have to be independent on my own way, Sir. Please let me do this, Sir."

"We, the school can support you in your studies, Byun Baekhyun. I could tell the office about this, and we'll make a solution about your financial problem. But, please give me a specific reason on why would you want to drop out of school. And what kind of financial problems are you going through. The school couldn't help you properly without knowing the reason. Although, we would still help you, we would also want to know the reason behind it and maybe we could solve it together."

"But, Sir. You wouldn't understand what I am going through. Just let me drop off and do my job. This is now my life, and I have to be independent, Sir."

"Byun Baekhyun, what am I?" Baekhyun's brows went crumpled and asked him back.

"Pardon, Sir?"

"Just answer the question, my dear student." Baekhyun nodded and muttered, "You're a principal, Sir."

"Right, I am a principal of this school. My job is to maintain my dear students happy and healthy. I am required to maintain the school's population and encourage more students to join our school community. Now, I am not doing this to keep our school population the same way. I am also not doing this because you're one of my brightest students. I am doing this because I want to sincerely look after you like my own son, and lend you my hands whenever you need them. In order words, this school community is your second family. I would like for you to stay as a part of our family. Yet, if you really need to go back now, then I will let you go. But remember, Byun Baekhyun, this is your second family. We're right behind your back."

With that, the principal tightly wrapped his warm arms around the shivering Byun Baekhyun. Baekhyun couldn't feel nothing but the pain and joy at the bottom of his heart. He shed tears as the principal warms him with the warm tight hug he received.

Now, all he has to do was to confirm whether to drop out or not.

***********

Baekhyun closed the principal's office's door behind him, and fell back to his deep thoughts. He is having a deep decision-making. It is never too late to change his mind. Although he is convienced by what the principal has stated, he's still having conflicts inside his head.

"BAEKHYUN! BYUN BAEKHYUN!"

A voice echoed through the hall. Baekhyun slowly turned around to see where the voice came from. A guy hurriedly running after him was seen. As he reached Baekhyun, he tried catching his breath and began the conversation with him.

"B-Baekhyun, a-aren't you coming b-back? What happened? Are you alright? W-When are y-you going to c-come back?" The smaller guy gasped for air, as he calm himself from running really fast after Byun Baekhyun.

"Suho hyung, I am still on the state of deciding. And yes I am alright. Yourself? Are you alright? Please go back to your class."

"How about Lu Han? Kyungsoo? Where are they? Have you seen them? Since the day you went missing, Lu Han started acting odd. Whilst, Kyungsoo's missing as well as you that day. You're bestfriends with them, aren't you?" Baekhyun bobbed and bowed his head. He felt really sorry, and he didn't even know where are his bestfriends now.

"And you know what happened to Lu Han?" Suho asked him eye to eye. Baekhyun felt like he already knew the next thing that Suho will say.

"He died in his sleep. Lu Han died in his sleep. You know his last words? It is written on this paper," Suho showed his phone to Baekhyun with a picture of evidence that Lu Han wrote in a paper, "read that." Baekhyun examined the picture and he knew it was for him.

I am sorry, Baekhyun. I did that to you, to protect my Oh Sehun. I love him. And that's the only way I could prove my love for him. Please forgive me.

And to Sehun, I love you.

All left to Baekhyun was the shock feeling. The same Oh Sehun that appeared to his sleep. The puzzle was once crumpled into pieces, and now it's slowly forming again.
