"Is there something going off with you two?"

Baekhyun shifted his focus from Chanyeol across the room to Luhan who was narrowing his eyes at him.

"Hmm?" Said Baekhyun as he didn't even hear the boy properly. Unsurprisingly, he was too lost in his thoughts of Chanyeol and their conversation the previous night.

"I said is there something going off between you and him?"

"Who?"

"You know who!" Luhan pointed over to the cafeteria counter where Chanyeol and his friends stood ordering. Jongdae and Kyungsoo had yet to join them as they needed to finish off extra work. "Him. Chanyeol"

"You were asking me about Sehun yesterday and now Chan?" Baekhyun frowned, showing off his acting skills without the boy knowing he was lying.

"Chan?" Luhan made a face at his friend, Baekhyun could tell he was suspicious of something.
"Since when do you call him Chan? And, yeah, while I'm thinking of it, you both suddenly rushed off last night, what was that all about?"

"Nothing. We just walked home" he answered, ignoring the first question.

"This is odd"

"I agree" said someone unfamiliar as they pulled up a chair to their table.
Baekhyun and Luhan looked up to see Oh Sehun smirking in the seat between them. "So what are we talking about?"

"Nothing that concerns you" Luhan scoffed and looked away.

Baekhyun looked past Sehun to see Chanyeol and Jongin just collecting their orders. When Chanyeol turned around and noticed Sehun was sat with them, his eyes flew wide and instantly moved over.

"Sehun, What are you doing?" He asked, eyes catching Baekhyun's a little.

"Talking with Friends, chill and just sit down."

"Friends?" Luhan spat.

Chanyeol patted Sehun on the back and said. "Come on, let's go"

"Hey, I ain't moving. Just sit, yeah?"

"Our actual friends will be coming soon!" Luhan gritted his teeth at the skinny blonde. "You're taking their space."

"I'm sure we'll be fine until they come" Sehun fake smiled before dropping it within a second.

Chanyeol gave Jongin a look then they both pulled chairs up and joined the table. Chanyeol next to Baekhyun and Jongin next to Luhan.

There was a long silence between the five of them as nobody wanted to speak first.

"Well this is nice" Sehun said sarcastically, leading to Luhan to roll his eyes.

"Why are you here?" Luhan questioned.

"Chanyeol is allowed to sit with you, why can't I?"

"Chanyeol's working with us in a group presentation. Besides, he's pretty decent unlike you"

"Unlike me?" Sehun raised an eyebrow as he leaned back on his chair. "What have I ever done to you?"

Luhan opened his mouth to answer but was quickly cut off by a phone ringing. Everyone looked around each other but soon realised It was Baekhyun's Phone that was ringing. "Sorry" was all he said before he scrambled to take it out of his pocket and held it to his ear.

"Hello?"

Baekhyun listened to the voice on the other end and pulled a face of confusion. He turned his back and looked behind him to the far corner of the room, everyone else searching for the same thing. In the corner of the room, standing by the door, was Jongdae, using one hand to hold his phone and the other on his hip.

"Oh jesus" Jongin said, almost jumping out of his seat as soon as he sees the boy lurking. "That scared me"

"What did he say?" Luhan asked.

Baekhyun swallowed inwardly. He didn't want to start some kind of war but it was clear his friends didn't like these boys. " 'what are they doing here?' "

While Luhan laughed, Sehun and Jongin frowned and stood up. "I don't see why it's such a big deal" was all they said before striding away out of the cafeteria.

Jongdae was now approaching the table to claim back his seats and Chanyeol was sat quietly and dazed. "You're pretty scary" Chanyeol laughed, pointing to Luhan.

It had been a couple of days since Baekhyun had last Called Chanyeol on the phone so he decided tonight would be a nice opportunity for it. He hoped the would be able to talk for a while.

As he sat waiting for Chanyeol to pick up, Baekhyun wondered if he should bring up the conversation he had with him.

The boys words had been repeating non-stop in his head for the whole day.

I think someone taller would look good with you.

Baekhyun couldn't help but think Chanyeol was directed that at himself but he didn't want to suspect anything too quick, especially incase he got the wrong idea.

But what if Chanyeol was hinting at something??

"-Hello??"

"Hey!" Baekhyun said almost a bit too excitedly. "Ca—wait, kyungsoo?" Baekhyun smile was immediately replaced with a frown, something he really couldn't stop himself from doing. The fact that kyungsoo picked up Chanyeols phone did not put good ideas in Baekhyuns head, causing the jealously that was there before flame up again.

"Yeah? What did you want?" Kyungsoo asks simply, like this was normal—normal to answer someone else's call. Where was Chanyeols anyway?

"Uh, Chanyeol" Baekhyun replied, trying to town down his annoyance. "I wanted Chanyeol, where is he?"

"Oh, he's just in the toilet"

Baekhyun purses his lips together resisting the urge to ask "why? Why is he with you? Where are you? You better not be on some sort of date"

"Nice" was what he said instead, except a lot more unenthusiastic. In fact, it wasn't nice at all. Baekhyun wanted to talk to Chanyeol, and Chanyeol only. Now it hurt him to know the two were put together somewhere.

"Well tell him I called" Baekhyun was more upset than angry now, he just hoped nothing was going on between the two of them.

"Will do" Kyungsoo said.

But just as Baekhyun waited for that second of silence while Kyungsoo found the hang up button, he hears Chanyeol's voice.

"What are you—" and then it's gone. Kyungsoo must have ended the call, leaving the smaller even more jealous and moody.

Baekhyun threw his phone to the bed and sighed. Within a second later, his phone began to ring and he snaps his head behind him to see Chanyeol's ID
Show up on the screen. Baekhyun contemplates whether he should ignore it but soon dismissed the idea as if it really is him this time he doesn't want to miss his voice.

Baekhyun dived for the phone and answered. "Hello?"

"Baek, hey, oh my god, I'm so sorry"

"No, it's fine. You're busy"

"I know but-" Chanyeol stopped for a moment before carrying on "but I really want to talk to you."

Baekhyun's smile yet again creeped on to his face. 'I really want to talk to you'.

Me too. He thought.

"It's ok, yeol. You're busy. We can talk some other time"

"You're the best. I'll make up for it!"

Chanyeol hung up before Baekhyun said the word bye. He wouldn't be that bothered if it weren't for the fact he still wanted to ask the boy where he was. But, Nevermind, Baekhyun didn't want to think about it any longer, he plugged his phone into his charger and got ready for bed.

No thinking about Chanyeol and especially not Kyungsoo.
