Baekhyun ignored the following eyes and whispered words as he maneuvered his way through the tables and hordes of bodies. The harsh glares hurt, but he pretended not to show it. He couldn't help but wonder which of his friends had spread the news of his break-up with Daehyun, Mr. Loved By Everyone, throughout the whole school in under a day . . . He sighed as he continued his push forward.

When the cafeteria door closed behind him the soothing breeze of outside wrapped around him like a hug. He was able to breathe. Although the feeling was short lived as someone spoke from behind him.

"Baekhyun . . ." they muttered. "Thank you for coming."

Baekhyun sighed and turned around slowly, his gazing accusing as he replied, "As if I had a choice."

Daehyun furrowed his brow and pursed his lips. He sighed, and growing frustrated, he ran his hand through his hair and cried, "Don't even pin this on me! I can't help it that you feel guilty for what you did!"

"But you're exploiting that side of me!" Baekhyun yelled back.

"I don't mean too! I mean . . . Fuck! What else could I do?" Daehyun cried.

Baekhyun squeezed his eyes shut and took a steady breath before saying, "I don't want to fight with you, Daehyun. I've ruined us enough already. I don't want to lose our friendship too . . ."

Daehyun sighed and stepped forward as he softly said, "Neither do I. An I meant what I said, Baek. I do still love you."

Baekhyun's face scrunched up and his bottom lip begun to wobble as he cried, "How can you still say that?! I don't deserve it! I hurt you so much, Daehyun! You're not supposed to reward me by saying you still love me!"

Baekhyun sobbed harder, and Daehyun broke as he fought against his want and need. He wanted to comfort Baekhyun, but knew he needed to stay away so he couldn't be hurt again. He was split in two, and he was growing tired of fighting. He couldn't do it much longer . . .

"Baekhyun . . . Please, baby, don't cry," Daehyun whispered as his want won out and he wrapped his arms around Baekhyun's small shaking frame. "Please don't cry."

Daehyun's show of affection made it worse as Baekhyun completely crumpled in on himself, sobbing his eyes out as all his sadness rushed out at once. He couldn't handle the pain. He wanted a distraction.

Baekhyun pulled out of Daehyun's arms and stared up at him through tear blurred eyes. He hated himself, but as he looked at him, he knew he still loved him too. An then suddenly Baekhyun threw his arms around Daehyun's neck and roughly kissed him. Daehyun was momentarily surprised at first, and then he was kissing him back. He tightly grabbed at his waist, causing Baekhyun to moan, which then caused him to snap back to his senses. He pulled away from Daehyun with a gasp, tears filling his eyes once again as he gasped, "Th–that can't happen again! Shit!"

Baekhyun spun around on his heel, preparing to run away when Daehyun grabbed his wrist and held him still. "Daehyun! Please? Let me go!" Baekhyun pleaded.

Daehyun shook his head and reached out, clasping his hand at the nape of Baekhyun's neck as he pulled him close. "I can't! Not until you tell me what I need to hear. Please, Baek?" Daehyun whispered.

Baekhyun's mouthed opened and closed as tears filled his eyes. He hiccuped and dropped his gaze before chokedly whispering, "Okay. I–I still love you, but I can't be with you."

"That's all I wanted to hear . . ." Daehyun whispered before kissing Baekhyun's forehead. "And I plan on waiting for you. I can't lose you...."

Baekhyun shook his head as tears fell down his cheeks. He didn't say anything before running away.

The gymnasium doors slammed shut loudly behind him, the sound echoing up and down the halls. Baekhyun was sure Chanyeol had heard it, which didn't allow him with much time to throw himself a pity party. He allowed a few more tears to roll over his cheeks before wiping them away. He took a deep breath before pushing forward.
