I was never been this busy in my entire life, just now. Guess because this is one of my responsibilities for being Baekhyun's Vice President. Today is the first day of our campaign and Baekhyun wants it to run for two weeks because he had an arrangement with Nana that it will be his party the first one to show the whole students of Yonsei what they've got. Then on the third week, it will be Nana's party.
The Baekhyun today was far from the Baekhyun I first met. Maybe Taeyeon was right after all. Baekhyun really want this position so bad to the point that he wanted everything to be perfect and to be on his favor. We were a team but he was mostly the one contributing the ideas. It amuses me because we were never annoyed on the attitude of our President. Maybe because Baekhyun speaks like he is really meant for this position. For the passed years he has been a part of the student body, it shaped his inner talent when it comes to this. From now on, I'll adore Baekhyun as a leader. I have no words against his leadership.
"Hey, Chanyeol. You're zoning out," Baekhyun clicked his fingers right into my face. I blinked twice and felt how my cheeks heated when I realized the proximity of our faces. "Are you fine? You're red."
"Y-yeah," I turned away only to be welcomed by the teasing stares of the other members of our party list. The thing is that, this is our first time meeting each other. Baekhyun called to gather us around to plan the things we will be doing for the whole two weeks. Ever since the two of us entered the meeting room, the other members of the party list looked at us like they're stopping themselves from squealing at all. Baekhyun's party list is mostly consisting of younger female students. Only quite a few were males and I'm one of it.
"Oh, okay. So what do you think? Will it be a good idea to build a booth on the quadrangle?" Baekhyun asks.
"What for?" This is the part where I regret being impulsive. I really don't have a thing towards school organizations.
"Maybe students can drop their queries, suggestions, and questions for us and on Friday, I'll set a forum on the same place wherein we will answer everything they will put in our drop boxes. Sounds good, right?" Baekhyun seemed like he planned everything even before, he was just being cautious towards our feelings that's why he's taking it step by step. But if I were the only one he'll ask, I think we must go to the flow with everything he planned. After all, he trained himself already for this. This is just a piece of cake for a pioneer like him.
"I think that's a good idea, Baekhyun sunbae!" Taeyeong said and everyone agreed on it. I commend Baekhyun for preparing everything needed for this meeting. This maybe the reason why he never showed up to me for one week. He got everything handled. He prepared name plates for us to recognize each other and he got one meeting room for us for the whole entire campaign. Plus I heard from Jaehyun that Mrs. Kang gave Baekhyun a monetary budget as our fund. Whatever thing he did in order to get that, I don't want to ask anymore. I know no one can resist him.
"How about you, Chanyeol?" Baekhyun reached for my hand when he saw that I'm spacing out once again, my gazes fell on the hands topping mine, it's really soft and beautiful. "Are you really fine? I can adjourn this meeting already if you're sick. You seemed distracted."
Shaking my head, I pulled my hand away from him and let it rest on my lap underneath the table. I was pinching my lap because I can't stop myself from feeling weird towards Baekhyun. I can't stay forever like this. I might ruin his plan especially our friendship that has barely started. "I'm fine. Don't mind me."
Baekhyun sighed, closing his laptop, he sat up. "Let's take a break first. Make sure to come back after one hour," and then he left without pouring me another glance.

We were all gathered inside the meeting room by exactly 1 pm when Baekhyun sent a group message telling us that the meeting this afternoon will be postponed because he has things to do. It will never be a pain in my side if Baekhyun was there but hell, he wasn't, so I was left with no choice but to ask some apologies for the inconvenience he made because what? He's being indecipherable again?
What makes me madder was when I was walking from the meeting room and there I saw him inside the caféteria, spending a tea break with someone unfamiliar to me. I know it's rude of me at all aspect to barge inside the school's premises with my growing anger inside me but I can't help! I can't remove the disappointed face of our co-party list when Baekhyun sent us that goddamn message! And what will I see? Our president slacking off with someone rather than guiding us about our plans for our campaign?!
"I see. So this is the things you have to do today, Byun Baekhyun," there was a hint of anger in my voice and I hope Baekhyun feels it after addressing him with his full name. "Slacking off instead of gathering your people for the upcoming campaign? Great doings we have there. That's negligence of duty if you didn't know, sweetheart," I smiled bitterly at him.
"Chanyeol. . ." Baekhyun sighed, mumbling his sorries to the person in front of him. He excused himself and pulled me to the corner of the caféteria, far enough for his confidant not to hear what we're about to tackle. "What was that?!"
"What was that?" I mocked. "Aren't I the one supposed to be asking that question, Baekhyun?"
"It's not what you're thinking, you giant dumbo!" Baekhyun tried holding my already shaking arms due to anger inside my system but I dodged him, lightly yanking his arms away. "What? You're now being irrational?"
"You think I'm irrational?" I finger-pointed myself. "If that's the case then I have the rights to be illogical because you're being an ass!"
"Why were you shouting?!" Baekhyun snapped. His veins already forming on his forehead. "And me? An ass?" He smirked, quite insulted with my choice of words which I wanted to take back but I have a thing called pride, so no way. "What the fuck?"
"Yes! We're gathered for almost half an hour inside the meeting room when you decided to be a jerk and settled on sending us goddamn group message saying that the meeting will be postponed because why? You're gonna go flirt with your boyfriend?! And it's a shame on you! You did it here, it's like a reality slap for your party list. You're not yet the student body's president yet you're already doingㅡ" and then the next thing I knew, his palm get faced-to-faced with my cheeks. Leaving a tingling sensation and a mark of his palm on it. Great. It was my first time to be slapped.

I can't withstand the cold shoulder treatement Baekhyun was giving me. Yesterday, which was another day after the dramatic scene we had in the caféteria two days ago, Baekhyun called a meeting and for the whole agenda, he never laid a single of his attention to me. It's like I was there but his eyes were filtered that it's not allowed to be glued on my side which is clearly the seat next to him.
The day has just started and I can smell from my room that mom's cooking downstairs. Thank goodness I woke up early so I still have time to bake an apology present for Baekhyun so I rushed myself towards the kitchen sink and mom was surprised to see me awake at 4 am.
"The last time I checked, your first class is at 8 am and you wake up 30 minutes before it starts. Were you sick?" I had to prevent myself from chuckling with my mom's remarks. She even draped her palm in my forehead to check my body temperature. "Chanyeol? Are you sick?"
Shaking my head, I started putting every single ingredient I needed for baking chocolate chip cookies. Good thing mom always get our fridge full of supplies. "I just wanted to prepare something for Baekhyun. You know, cat fights. But I think I didn't fought with a cat the last two days; I argued with a tiger."
Mom chuckled and helped me on preparing everything also. She wrapped an apron towards my body and I have to mutter a Thank you for her kind act. "Really? I wasn't surprised at all. I'm sure the first time you two met that bickering and arguing will be your hobbies together but opposites do really attract right?" With the last words mom said, I opted to be silent.

I was supposed to leave the house at exactly 7:50 am but today, I saw myself holding a pink box inside of it were a dozen of freshly baked cookies while entering Yonsei's huge gate at exactly 7:30 am. The guard on duty greeted me so I turned back the nice favor and asked him if Baekhyun has already entered, after checking it on the system exclusive for his only, he said Baekhyun hasn't reached the school yet and was scheduled to arrive at 7:45 am so I still have 15 minutes left to put this box inside his locker.
Running has never been a pain in the ass not until I ended up bringing a box of chocolate chip cookies that were made to ask for some apology so I better not ruin it by running my life for it. Good thing Baekhyun seemed to be late today because I'm already hiding behind the white board few meters away from his locker when he appeared, face all crunched up. After inserting the key of his locker, his forehead creased when he saw the pink box inside it but a smile was quick to appear on his face when he saw the note I left.
Forgive me, please?
Three words but enough for him to know who's the person behind those and when our gazes locked, he motioned me with his fingers. Although hesitant at first, I did what I was told to do and walked myself next to him.
"What is this?" Baekhyun asked, holding the box higher that it leveled my chest. "What's the occasion?" I ended up pouting.
"That's an apology cookie box. I made it early this morning hoping that you'll forgive me for the mean words I've said the last two days. You know I didn't meant that, it just slipped out of my tongue because I was mad as hell," and that made Baekhyun rose an eyebrow.
"Will you accept it also if I've killed you that time and I'll tell auntie that it was just because I was mad as hell, huh?"
I can't believe my pout automatically went longer with his witty comebacks. "But you didn't killed me."
"I'm close to doing it. Good thing an angel passed by so I was able to stop myself from doing so," Baekhyun punched my chest but it just tickled me. "Don't do that again, okay?"
"Do what?" I asked, pretending to be clueless towards what he's talking about. "I can'tㅡ"
"ㅡsnapping at me," Baekhyun looked away and is it just me or I just saw pain cross his eyes? "You were the last person I'm expecting to be mad at me, Chanyeol."
"Why is that?" A dumb grin was now seen on my face. God. It feels so good to see him this comfortable around me once again. I should take note not to go against Baekhyun's bad side in the future.
"It may doesn't looked obvious at all but I'm beyond hurt," Baekhyun pursed his lips into a thin line and gone was the dramatic Baekhyun, his playful side was now again flustered on his facial expression. "And for the record?"
"Hmm?" I was surprised when he slapped me again but this time, it's less painful compared to the first time I got slapped by him. "What was that, Baek?!"
"That's for mistaking Heechul hyung as my boyfriend! That's incest! He's my cousin!" Baekhyun glared at me for a second and in a snap of a finger, he sticks his tongue out, started running away from me. "Anyways, thanks for the cookies! This better taste good or else I'll slap you once again!"
Gosh. I can't believe I'm starting to develop feelings with this kind of person.
