Senior Year of High School

(18)

-

1. Homework

Baekhyun: Can I copy your English homework? I forgot to do mine! I fell asleep early last night!

Chanyeol: Go ahead. It's in my bag. Just return it when you're done.

Baekhyun: Wait. Do you do this with your classmates, too? Letting them copy your work?

Chanyeol: Nope.

Baekhyun. Oh. So that means I'm special, right? Hehe. I'm your best friend after all.

Chanyeol: It's because we all do our homework....

Baekhyun: ....

Chanyeol: I'd even do your homework if you want.

Baekhyun: You're making me feel embarrassed...

Chanyeol: You don't want to?

Baekhyun: I mean... Just for a week will do?

-

2. Pizza

Chanyeol: You look so cute when you're eating.

Baekhyun: How am I cute? I'm literally gobbling three slices of pizza at the same time right now.

Chanyeol: Still, you look adorable.

Baekhyun: I don't.

Chanyeol: You just don't see what I see, okay?

Baekhyun: And what do you see except for a glutton?

Chanyeol: My crush.

Baekhyun: What did you say?

Chanyeol: I-I mean, m-my cash! It all went down your throat! I bought the pizza, right?

Baekhyun: Is this your way of telling me to buy the drinks?

-

3. Fever

Baekhyun: Chanyeol, I'm texting just to remind you of our game night later. You didn't forget it, right? I already told mom and she agreed!

Chanyeol: Hey. Sorry, I read your message late. I wasn't feeling well this morning so I couldn't reply right away. Can we take a raincheck? I'm worried you'll catch my cold.

Baekhyun: Oh... No worries. But are you feeling better now? Have you taken a pill yet? How about lunch? You already ate, right? What's your temperature? Shall we go to the hospital to get you checked? Where does it hurt?

Chanyeol: Haha.

Baekhyun: Why're you laughing? I'm getting anxious over here! That's it. I'm coming over!

Chanyeol: You don't have to! I'm fine. I just need some rest, that's all. Besides, reading your messages made me feel so much better already.

Baekhyun: Send me a picture of yourself for proof.

Chanyeol: There you go.

Baekhyun: What's this!? Your face is all red!

Chanyeol: Not from the fever...

-

4. Twenty

Chanyeol: I wanna graduate already! Why is time flying so slow? Seems like we've been high school seniors forever.

Baekhyun: You must be really excited.

Chanyeol: Of course, I'm looking forward to it. We'll soon be adults. We'll be together in Seoul, too. I can't wait for it to finally happen.

Baekhyun: What's the first thing you'd do when you turn twenty?

Chanyeol: Get a tattoo. Like, just a small one for starters.

Baekhyun: Man, that's cool. What's it gonna be?

Chanyeol: Hmm... Should I do your name?

Baekhyun: Yeah. Tattoo it on your forehead!

Chanyeol: Can I just do it on my butt?

-

5. Privacy

Chanyeol: H-hey! Learn how to knock, will you!? You startled me!

Baekhyun: Why did you suddenly close your laptop? Were you watching porn before I came into your room? Hahaha.

Chanyeol: Seriously, Baekhyun. You really have no sense of privacy...

Baekhyun: You dare to keep a secret from me? What were you looking at!?

Chanyeol: Just... stuff. You don't have to knoㅡHey! Give it back, you little shit!

Baekhyun: "Nick Wilde x reader fanfiction... Chapter one, the meeting..."

Chanyeol: I said give my laptop back!

Baekhyun: You're reading this shit!?

-

6. Idiot

Baekhyun: So... What's your reply?

Chanyeol: Reply?

Baekhyun: I heard a girl from Class 5 asked you out yesterday. She handed you a love letter, right?

Chanyeol. Oh. That? I rejected her right away. I told her I wasn't interested.

Baekhyun: Wasn't that too harsh? You could've tried getting to know her first. She seems nice.

Chanyeol: Would you rather I date girls than be with you?

Baekhyun: That's... Well... I-I'm not saying that! What has this got to do with me anyway?

Chanyeol: You are an idiot.

Baekhyun: ??? ?

-

7. Shoes

Baekhyun: Here. Grandma asked me to give them to you. She baked the cookies herself.

Chanyeol: Really? Tell her I said thank you! But what should I do? I didn't get you any... Should I buy you some snacks or something?

Baekhyun: Nah, it's fine. I'm not that hungry. You just enjoy the cookies, okay?

Chanyeol: Do you want me to do something for you, then?

Baekhyun: Hmm... Now that you said it...

Chanyeol: So. They fit you perfectly, right?

Baekhyun: Chanyeol... I just wanted you to go window shopping with me... I didn't mean you have to get me a new pair of shoes. But thank you anyway!

Chanyeol: Look. We're matching now! You like them, right? Right?

-

8. Girl

Chanyeol: My sister told me I was supposed to be a girl. They were expecting a daughter but it turned out I was a son.

Baekhyun: I think Changmi would be your name if you turned out to be a girl. Park Changmi.

Chanyeol: What if I were a girl? Would you still be best friends with me?

Baekhyun: Of course! It doesn't matter whether you're a boy or a girl or whatever. We're still gonna find our way to each other.

Chanyeol: You won't date me if I were a girl?

Baekhyun: Huh?

Chanyeol: I mean... I think I'd date you if I were a girl...

Baekhyun: Uh... The girl version of you would be really pretty... So maybe, I'd try...?

Chanyeol: So you just like me for my looks, then!? Let's break up!

-

9. I miss you

Baekhyun: Hello... Is everything alright?

Chanyeol: Sorry for calling you at this hour. You must be sleeping already.

Baekhyun: What's up? Did you have a nightmare?

Chanyeol: No, I... I just wanted to hear your voice.

Baekhyun: Pfft... Haha... It's not like we won't be seeing each other in school tomorrow.

Chanyeol: I miss you, Baekhyun.

Baekhyun: Hey. You're scaring the shit out of me right now. You okay?

Chanyeol: Can't I say that to my best friend? Aren't you gonna say it back?

Baekhyun: I miss you, too. There. Now go to sleep.

Chanyeol: Okay, good night.

-

10. Cry

Baekhyun: Were you drunk last night?

Chanyeol: Drunk? What do you mean?

Baekhyun: You forgot? You called me at midnight, didn't you?

Chanyeol: Oh. That!

Baekhyun: You remember now?

Chanyeol: Yup. I told you I missed you. You told me you missed me, too.

Baekhyun: Didn't know you could be this clingy? Seriously. What are you gonna do without me?

Chanyeol: I'd probably just cry...

Baekhyun: I'd cry, too. A lot.

-

11. Dress

Baekhyun: Come on... Don't be like this. Don't get mad at me anymore. Let's make up now, shall we?

Chanyeol: ....

Baekhyun: I'm sorry. It's not like I wanted to do it! My class voted for me and I had no choice... So I had to wear that pink dress for the play...

Chanyeol: Why didn't you let me see it? Everybody saw it except me.

Baekhyun: B-because I was embarrassed! I didn't want you to see me like that. You'd just make fun of me!

Chanyeol: I will never, ever, make fun of you.

Baekhyun: Wait, don't leave! Hey! Chanyeol!

-

12. Trick

Baekhyun: Here. My token of apology.

Chanyeol: This is...

Baekhyun: Yeah. A photo of me during the play. Don't show it to anyone else.

Chanyeol: And why would I do that? This is for my eyes only. I'll treasure this forever.

Baekhyun: What are you gonna do with it anyway?

Chanyeol: I'll add it to my Baekhyun exclusive collection, of course.

Baekhyun: You're not mad at me anymore?

Chanyeol: Pfft. I wasn't even mad at you in the first place.

Baekhyun: What!? You tricked me!

Chanyeol: Thanks for this!

-

13. Inspiration

Baekhyun: Okay. Let's show our report cards together on the count of three.

Chanyeol: One... Two...

Baekhyun: Three!

Chanyeol: 88, 89, 94, 91, 93, 90. Nice, dude. Your scores are really good!

Baekhyun: Coming from someone who got all 100 on his tests except for Korean History which is 99? Thank you.

Chanyeol: Heh. Don't mention it!

Baekhyun: Share your study habits, will you?

Chanyeol: We study together. I think I was able to ace my exams because of that.

Baekhyun: What does this have to do with me?

Chanyeol: You're my inspiration, that's why.

-

14. Alone

Baekhyun: I've never realized how lonely it is not until you skipped school. I think I'd lose my mind if I didn't see you again tomorrow.

Chanyeol: Were you really that sad? You had your other friends with you, right?

Baekhyun: Yeah, but I had to go home alone... And play games alone... And eat spicy rice cakes alone... I miss you already, Chanyeol...

Chanyeol: I'll make it up to you when I get back from this family gathering, I promise. Just hang in there, alright? Two more days and we'll be together again.

Baekhyun: I can't possibly wait that long. That's it! I'm heading there right now. Send me the address!

Chanyeol: But I'm in Paris right now.

Baekhyun: The fuck are you doing in Paris? I thought you were in Jeju?

Chanyeol: I thought you knew? My sister wanted to celebrate her birthday here. Should I book the earliest flight to Seoul?

Baekhyun: You're kidding, right...

Chanyeol: No, I'm serious.

-

15. Piano

Chanyeol: You know how to play the piano?

Baekhyun: My mom let me join the kids in piano class when I was younger so I learned how to play it. Why?

Chanyeol: Come sit with me. Let's play a song together.

Baekhyun: Okay. You know how to read music sheets?

Chanyeol: No...

Baekhyun: For real?

Chanyeol: Actually, I just play by ear.

Baekhyun: Can you guess this song, then?

Chanyeol: Oh! Isn't that River Flows in You?

Baekhyun: Correct. Now how about this?

Chanyeol: You're just... pressing random keys, aren't you?

-

16. Pug

Baekhyun: If we were dogs, what breed would we be?

Chanyeol: You're definitely a Chihuahua, and I'm a Doberman.

Baekhyun: Why am I a Chihuahua? I'd rather be a Border Collie! And you, Chanyeol, are a Pug.

Chanyeol: That's not accurate at all. Why am I suddenly a Pug?

Baekhyun: You're docile, friendly, easygoing, affectionate, clingy, and in constant need of attention. You're demanding, sensitive, and sometimes mischievous. You always follow me around, too. You're just like a Pug.

Chanyeol: Now that you said it, I think I'm really a Pug... Arf! Woof! WOOF! RAWR! AARRFFF!

Baekhyun: Aaaack! Don't bite me! Stop barking!

-

17. Ghost

Chanyeol: I've seen it once. Trust me. There's a ghost on the rooftop. It was an old lady who died waiting for her lover.

Baekhyun: Our school used to be an old cemetery, right? My brother said so.

Chanyeol: Goosebumps! Wanna go ghost hunting tonight?

Baekhyun: No way! I'm afraid of ghosts!

Chanyeol: Baekhyun, who's that behind you? She's looking at you! She's coming over here! Aaaaah!

Baekhyun: Fuck! Don't scare me like that!

Chanyeol: Here. You can hold my hand until we reach your classroom.

Baekhyun: Wait a minute....

-

18. Acting

Baekhyun: Say something you like and something you don't like. I'll go first. I like playing games. I hate cucumbers.

Chanyeol: I like being with you. I hate not being with you.

Baekhyun: Come on. Don't lie...

Chanyeol: You think I'm lying? I'm telling the truth, Byun Baekhyun. How about you? Don't you like being with me? Are you sick of me? You don't wanna see me anymore? You hate me now, don't you?

Baekhyun: Huh? Why are you being like this all of a sudden?

Chanyeol: I knew it! Goodbye. I'm setting you free. Let's not meet each other ever again. Thanks for everything.

Baekhyun: What did I do? Don't turn your back at me! Hey!

Chanyeol: Hehe. Is my acting that good?

Baekhyun: So good I'm getting mad for real!

-

19. Surprise

Chanyeol: Happy birthday to you~ Happy birthday, dear Baekhyun~ Happy birthday to you! Surprise!

Baekhyun: Oh, my. Haha. Is this a prank? Why the roses?

Chanyeol: Because they're pretty, just like you.

Baekhyun: Where's my gift, then?

Chanyeol: It's right in front of you. Me. I'm your birthday gift.

Baekhyun: ....

Chanyeol: So feel free to do whatever you wanㅡ

Baekhyun: Let's spend more birthdays together in the future, Chanyeol. Thank you for coming into my life.

Chanyeol: O-okay... You can... let go of me now... I can't... breathe...

Baekhyun: I love you.

Chanyeol: I... M-me, too... I l-love you... too...

-

20. Giraffe

Chanyeol: Are you sure this is for me? Can I really have this keychain?

Baekhyun: Well, you're the first person that came to mind while I was making it in handicraft class, so...

Chanyeol: Thank you. I appreciate it. Is this supposed to be a cheetah? Oh, no wait. It's a leopard, right? Or maybe a cow...

Baekhyun: Dude, that's a giraffe.

Chanyeol: Oh! But the pattern is a bit... And the neck looks like... And the ears are a little... But it's cute!

Baekhyun: Y-you know what? I'm taking it back! I'm not giving it to you anymore!

Chanyeol: But why? You already gave this to me. It's mine now.

Baekhyun: I'll just buy you something else. Something that's not ugly...

Chanyeol: This, Baekhyun, is the most beautiful keychain I've ever seen. It's perfect.

-

21. Mongryeong

Baekhyun: I think Mongryeong likes you more than me...

Chanyeol: Why do you say so?

Baekhyun: Whenever he sees you, he wags his tail at you. He'd cuddle with you and bring you his toys. But to me, he doesn't do that. He'd just straight up ignore me and give me the side eye.

Chanyeol: It's because he always sees you at home. He's comfortable around you and he's already used to your presence.

Baekhyun: Mongryongie! Here, boy! Come to me! Look at that rascal... He's just staring at me.

Chanyeol: Mongryeongie, come here, buddy! I have treats!

Baekhyun: What? T-t-this is so unfair! Why is he coming to you and not me!?

Chanyeol: Hehe. I'm a dog whisperer.

Baekhyun: You're just a big dog. He thinks you're his brother.

-

22. Treats

Chanyeol: So. Have you figured it out?

Baekhyun: Yup. The secret is just always bring treats with you. Now Mongryeong follows me around.

Chanyeol: That's right.

Baekhyun: Let's try to see if it really works. Come here, Chanyeollie! That's my good boy, I have treats!

Chanyeol: It doesn't work on people.

Baekhyun: Then why are you coming towards me?

Chanyeol: Oh, am I?

Baekhyun: Wait... This is... You're, you're getting too close...

Chanyeol: Oh, really?

Baekhyun: S-stop teasing me just because you're taller!

Chanyeol: Sure, I'll try. Where are you going?

Baekhyun: Don't follow me around!

-

23. Dad

Baekhyun: So yeah, that's how you defeat the boss. Oh, and don't forget to use this custom build. Look at the stats. It's strong, right?

Chanyeol: You learned it so fast. I just bought the game last week.

Baekhyun: Also, upgrade your weapons to the maximum level. You'll be able to clear the final stage this way. Easy-peasy!

Chanyeol: How many hours did you spend playing this game?

Baekhyun: Uh... Just eight hours straight?

Chanyeol: Eight!? That is not healthy at all. That's it. I'm confiscating your PS3.

Baekhyun: I'm sorry... Game was just too good, I couldn't stop myself...

Chanyeol: You are grounded, young man. Go to your room. Now.

Baekhyun: Yes, Dad...

Chanyeol: Dad!?

-

24. Dish

Chanyeol: This is my first time cooking for someone, actually. I usually just put together all the ingredients and follow the recipes on the internet. Did I do well?

Baekhyun: Wait, so you're saying that you cooked this short rib soup!?

Chanyeol: Uhm, yes...

Baekhyun: Fuck you, man. I thought you ordered the food! It tastes delicious! You could be a professional chef at how good this dish is.

Chanyeol: Haha... You're exaggerating too much. But thank you. I'm happy to hear that you liked my cooking.

Baekhyun: You're a husband material. Your future wife will be so lucky to have you. You'll cook for her every day and she'll eat the food you make. What a happy life.

Chanyeol: Give me that.  There's no more for you.

Baekhyun: Huh? But I'm not done eating yet. Wait... What did I do?!

-

25. Eyes

Baekhyun: Have you already liked someone, Chanyeol?

Chanyeol: W-what's with the sudden question? W-why are you asking?

Baekhyun: Nothing, just curious. I saw this drama on TV, right? And I was just wondering what it feels like to have a crush on someone.

Chanyeol: You've never had a crush on someone before?

Baekhyun: Not that I know of...

Chanyeol: Maybe you'll have one soon, at the right time. You'll never know. Maybe they're just right next to you.

Baekhyun: ....

Chanyeol: Why are you staring at me like that?

Baekhyun: I've never really noticed it before, but I think your eyes are really pretty.

Chanyeol: ????

-

26. Big

Chanyeol: Haa... My stomach aches... I ate too much ice cream...

Baekhyun: You just need to fart.

Chanyeol: Phew...! That's better.

Baekhyun: I didn't say right now! Ew, that stinks!

Chanyeol: I still feel bloated, though. Look at my tummy. Isn't it so big?

Baekhyun: Uh-huh. It's quite big.

Chanyeol: Hey... Where are you looking at... Why is your hand suddenlyㅡ

Baekhyun: Ha...!

Chanyeol: You son of a bitch! Don't fucking do that!

Baekhyun: Heh. It's indeed big. I'm so jealous.

Chanyeol: Oh, yeah? My turn now.

Baekhyun: No! You can't touch me therㅡHmngh!

-

27. Apology

Chanyeol: When you told me as a joke that I should gain weight because I looked thin, I didn't like it.

Baekhyun: Oh... T-that was...

Chanyeol: And when you said I should better shut my mouth because my opinion wasn't needed, I was offended.

Baekhyun: I... Yeah, I remember saying that.

Chanyeol: And when you laughed when I shared the story of my pet hamster dying, I was really hurt.

Baekhyun: Why did I... Oh, my god...

Chanyeol: You probably didn't mean any harm by it, but I still wanna let you know if I'm upset about stuff so it won't happen again next time.

Baekhyun: I'm sorry... And thank you for telling me. I'll reflect on my actions. I'm really sorry...

Chanyeol: It's okay.

-

28. Hug

Chanyeol: Why aren't you talking to me? You've been quiet all day. Is everything okay?

Baekhyun: ...

Chanyeol: Come on. Please tell me.

Baekhyun: It's nothing...

Chanyeol: Is this because of what I told you last time?

Baekhyun: I'm just... I'm just scared that if I say something wrong again, I'll hurt your feelings.

Chanyeol: It'll hurt me more if you don't speak to me. You can just act like you used to, you know? I'm not mad anymore.

Baekhyun: Okay... Sniffle.

Chanyeol: Come here. Are you crying?

Baekhyun: N-no, I'm not!

Chanyeol: Want a hug?

-

29. Height

Baekhyun: Shit. I'm never gonna go over 170 cm (5"7)! I fucking hate this. Girls in my class are even taller than me.

Chanyeol: Hey. Did your physical exam results come back already? I just got mine.

Baekhyun: Let me guess. You're 180 cm (5"11) now, aren't you?

Chanyeol: How did you know? I grew taller again this year. Haha.

Baekhyun: Must be nice. I haven't even grown a single inch.

Chanyeol: You're gonna have a growth spurt in college. Don't worry.

Baekhyun: In college? Who does that? I'm giving up. I'll forever be a short king.

Chanyeol: Pfft...

Baekhyun: Why're you laughing? You think this is funny? Huh!? You making fun of me?

Chanyeol: This is what I like the most about you.

Baekhyun: The hell does that even mean!?

-

30 . CSAT

Baekhyun: Praying that my CSAT scores will be high enough to get me into a good university with you!

Chanyeol: Praying that we can study in Seoul together!

Baekhyun: The heavens will surely hear our prayers, right? I donated one week of my allowance to the temple. I prayed hard all night, too.

Chanyeol: I believe in you. I believe in us. We'll both get into SKY University no matter what.

Baekhyun: But if ever I didn't make it...

Chanyeol: You WILL make it. WE will make it. Look at me. Say it back to my face. Come on.

Baekhyun: We will make it!

Chanyeol: Good.

Baekhyun: Chanyeol... Hic...! CHANYEOL!!!

Chanyeol: Hey, don't tear up! We haven't even taken the test yet!
