"What the hell?!"

Jongdae scrunched up his face as he leant back onto the headboard of Baekhyun's bed.
"Did he really say that?"

Baekhyun nodded. When he got back home his friends were already there waiting, eager to hear the gossip.

"What a rude ass" Luhan said.

"No.. it's probably not his fault.." Baekhyun replied, trying to stick up for Sehun even when he knew himself that it probably was his fault. "I mean I'm sure a lot of people forget my name"

"Yeah right." Jongdae said.

"What if he just misheard it?" Luhan asked.

"Either way that's not good, is it?"

Baekhyun leant back next to Jongdae and rested his head on his shoulder as he sighed a very deep sigh.

"Can I ask you guys something?" Baekhyun said.

"Of course. Go ahead."

"You know Chanyeol?" The two nodded. "What's his deal?"

"What do you mean?"

Baekhyun took a moment to think... what did he mean? He didn't really know himself, nor could he explain it. All he knew what that Chanyeol was always trying to follow him around. He had been a while, so it was nothing new—he just didn't understand it.

"Nevermind"

"No tell us " Jongdae said. "Is he stalking you?"

"What? No. Ew that would be weird." Baekhyun said. "He just... keeps trying to talk to me... a lot. I think he knows that I liked Sehun"

"Why? Has he said anything?"

Baekhyun sat up on his bed and fiddled his fingers with his sleeves. He told them how the story went and they listened carefully. It wasn't big news, however Baekhyun still felt a little strange talking about it.

"I think he's jealous that a guy like you didn't fancy him" jongdae laughed.

Baekhyun smacked him on the arm and said "fancy? What, Are you a kid? I don't fancy him... it was just a small crush"

Jongdae scoffed in reply and rolled his eyes.

"Whatever. It's nothing. Hopefully he won't talk to me again."

---

They were at yet another party held by university students. Jongdae knew the students that were hosting it so of course he had to be invited. Which also meant Baekhyun and Luhan were invited too.

Baekhyun wasn't really that bothered to go another party but he did anyway, thinking it might cheer him up a bit. He told himself he was taking a break from liking Sehun and that he wasn't going to make a move today but even when Sehun wasn't even in the room, Baekhyun could help but wonder where he was and whether he'd seen him.

Baekhyun also wasn't in the mood for drinking, which was weird because he was mostly known for having way too many and dancing to girl group songs with Jongdae at full power. Well, it's not like you need alcohol to have fun right?

"Baek, what ever you do..." luhan said, his arm linked with Baekhyun's as they made their way through the room full of people. "Do not look around"

Baekhyun pulled a confused look to his friend, becoming increasingly anxious by the second. As much as he wanted to follow his friends orders, Baekhyun just had to turn around now—he had to, how could he not? Maybe if Luhan hadn't said a word, he wouldn't have the urge to look but because he did.... Baekhyun looked over his shoulder and skimmed the crowd, searching for what Luhan was talking about.
"Baekhyun no! I stole you not to!" Luhan shouted in a whisper-like tone with gritted teeth.
Baekhyun ignored him and carried on looking as the proceeded to move. Luhan was trying to pull him out of the room faster but he purposely put all his weight to his feet as though he was too heavy to move. Within a second of him stopping, Baekhyun found what his friend told him not to look at. He definitely knew it was this.

"Come on, keep moving Baek. You didn't see anything yeah?"

Baekhyuns mouth hung open as he finally let Luhan drag him out of the room. They took a turn into the hallway and then out one of the back doors where only a few people were gathered, holding bottles in their hand and chatting about anything in the world. Luhan sat Baekhyun down on one of the outside chairs the house had and grabbed his shoulders.

"Don't jump to conclusions yet. It might be nothing"

His mouth closed. And then re opened to say something. "I think we both know that's not true"

Baekhyun knew Luhan did. He knew Luhan was only saying that because he was his friend and didn't want Baekhyun to be upset. Luhan let go of his shoulders and sat next to him.

"I'm sure there's better people out there for you"

Baekhyun didn't know whether these words were making him feel worse, he wished Luhan didn't say anything else and just left it at that. Seeing Sehun with his arm around a girls waist and mouth on her neck was enough for him. Baekhyun hated that this was so cliché.
The two sat in silence for a while until Jongdae came skipping out like everything was fine with the world.

"Why the long faces?"

Baekhyun just glared at his friend before sighing and shaking his head. He didn't want to talk about it right now. Jongdae clicked his tongue and joined the two sitting down, without another word. Fortunately, although he was. Aloud mouth, he knew when to stay quiet in front of Baekhyun.

After half an hour of doing nothing, Baekhyun stood and headed for the door.

"Yah! Byun! Where are you going?!" Their friends rose and followed the boy.

"Home" Baekhyun said bluntly. He had enough of all of this and just wanted to collapse on his bed. He had enough of Liking Oh Sehun.

He wasn't sad or heartbroken—well he was a bit but not as much as you might think—he was more angry with himself that he was stupid enough to like a guy that was clearly the straightest person on this planet. Baekhyun only now realised how much of a fool he was for even trying to make Sehun notice him.

Jongdae grabbed Luhan arm and refrained him from following the guy completely.
"Just leave him. We'll see him tomorrow" was all he said and Luhan gradually gave a nod in reply.

Baekhyun didn't bother saying goodbye to anyone in the house before he left because well, he didn't know anyone anyway so what was the point? He just flung the down open, not even bothering to close it behind him and stomped out the house.
He got halfway down the front lawn when he heard : "Baekhyun?"

He didn't need to look to know who the voice belonged too. Chanyeol was now walking over to him in the corner of his eyes. Baekhyun sped up with his walk.

"Aren't you staying for the party?" He asked, still trailing behind him.

Why did I park so far up the road? He thought. If only he could walk a bit faster and then he might just loose the guy before he gets in his car.

Sadly for Baekhyun, Chanyeol was the one with long legs. "Hey can you just stop for a second?" The taller was now right behind Baekhyun, reaching out for his arm.

Before Chanyeol would get a hold of him, Baekhyun stopped completely, almost sending the taller flying in front. "What? What do you want Chanyeol? Just spit it out already because I just really want to get home right now. So much that you have no idea" he snapped.

"Why do you always have to speak to me like that?" Chanyeol questioned in a hurt, yet angered tone as he walked back towards Baekhyun.

"Because every where I go, you're there too and it's like you have to talk to me all the time. It's so annoying" Baekhyun flung his arms in the air. " I'm not interested, okay? Now just leave me alone, I'm going home." With that he turned around and continued walking.

In the next second, Chanyeol was right back next to him again. Before Baekhyun could shout anything else at his face, Chanyeol sighed and said "can I at least walk you to your car?"

Baekhyun had a feeling he should had said 'I don't need walking anywhere, get lost already' or 'what's your problem?' But instead he carried on walking. "Whatever.. do what you like" was what Baekhyun actually said. Maybe he was going a bit hard on Chanyeol, after all the kid had done nothing bad to him.

It was a quiet walk between the two. None of them spoke and it was mostly because neither of them wanted to anger the other any further.
When they reached the car Baekhyun immediately reached for the handle while Chanyeol stood and watched. Baekhyun contemplated getting in and driving off without a word but when he looked up to see the taller staring at his feet with his hands behind his back, he hesitated.

Baekhyun pinched in between his eyes. "I'm sorry" he said, hating he fact that his body wouldn't let him go without an apology.

Chanyeol looked up in surprise. "What?"

"I'm sorry I'm a jerk, okay?"
The ends of Chanyeols mouth turned up as he shook his head.
"What was that look for? Are you smiling?" Baekhyun questioned.

"No no, of course not" Chanyeol said, trying to stop himself from smiling more, now Baekhyun had said it, he just couldn't stop.

"You are! Am I funny to you?" Baekhyun closed his door and stepped forward again.

"Yes, very"

"Stop laughing at me"

"I can't"

"Why not?"

"Because it's funny that I fell for a jerk"

Baekhyun scoffed and turned back around to open his door. "then at least we have something in common"

As he stood with one leg in the car he paused. Chanyeols words had had only just wrapped around his mind and were beginning to sink in one by one. Baekhyun blinked and tried to swallow to cure his dry threat that had suddenly appeared out of know where. If someone handed him a drink now, then he would take it and probably down it in one.
"Wait, what did you say?" Baekhyun said, his voice almost faulted.

He stared at Chanyeol but the taller didn't reply. He was too busy looking at the floor in front of his feet.

Baekhyun didn't need him to say it again, because he heard every word perfectly but he was wondering whether Chanyeol could confirm it or maybe say it again in a different way so it wouldn't have made Baekhyun think that Chanyeol had a crush on him. Or maybe that was just what the guy had been aiming for.

Baekhyun let out a breath before stepping into his car and closing the door. He quickly shoved his keys in and pulled out off the pavement where he had been parking for free. He took one last glance at Chanyeol before he was completely out of view, he was stood exactly how he was, where he was, watching the car drive away from him.

It was only then when Baekhyun had felt so much guilt rushing through his body but all he could do right now was drive.

After he driven about half a mile from the place, he was stopped at a red light. Baekhyun laid his head back to the head rest and dug his teeth into his bottom lip, harder than ever. He wondered what the hell was gonna happen tomorrow.

Suddenly the light is on green and Baekhyun slams his foot on the pedal, sending him forward much quicker than expected, his heart happened to be racing just as fast. He slowed it down and steadied the car, telling himself to be calm.

When he heard the screeching sound of tires rubbing against the cold ground, Baekhyun looked out to his right to see a four wheeled car swerving from right to side as though it had lost control. But before Baekhyun even had a chance to act, the car was hurdling towards his at full speed until the front collided with the side of Baekhyuns car. Pain instantly overpowered his senses as he felt his own door crushed his leg and glass shattered everywhere. Within a second of the crash, Baekhyun was knocked out. His car was sent flying across the road, flipping upside down repeatedly, crumbling every part of the car it could.
When it finally skidded to a halt, The boy laid upside down, in his upside down car, with his legs trapped and too unconscious to call for help.
