Chapter 9

Correction
*Chanyeol's friends are the beagle line namely: Baekhyun, Chen and Chanyeol and not Zitao*

Sehun's tiny figure made its way into the school and like a timid kitten he walked pass the students without getting noticed, the cuts from yesterday were still burning his flesh,

As he was walking pass towards his classroom, he came across of group of students laughing and his curiosity got him to take a peek at what was amusing them, his whole body felt cold when he saw the sight in front of him, Kyungsoo was in the middle with only his boxers while the students kicked and dirtied his uniform, Kyungsoo had flour from top to bottom and he was curled up in a ball covering himself as his small figure was shivering.

He suddenly started to have horrible flashbacks of his old school, his instinct made him to turn around and run, run away from there.

Run towards the home room teacher's office room, he thought that only he could safe Kyungsoo, as he was making a dash towards the office room, he bumped into a tall figure but he chose to ignore it and just ran towards the office.

Sehun was unathletic so he was out of breath when he reached the office room, "K-Kyungsoo is b-being bullied" he muttered trying to catch his breath, Kim Minseok who was busy with some papers immediately dropped them and stood up,

"Where?" he asked Sehun, "The corridor of the classroom" he said and Minseok made a dash towards it and Sehun slowly followed.

Minseok's eyes widened in shock at the sight in front of him and a wave of rage felt over him, "WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK YOU ARE DOING?" he yelled gaining the attention of the students who immediately fled from the spot, Minseok could not recognize the students as his focus was on Kyungsoo, he rushed towards Kyungsoo, his hands were shaky as he saw how terribly hurt Kyungsoo was, he felt his blood boil with rage and anger, How could a human being do such a thing to its own kind? It was horrible.

He helped Kyungsoo to the nurse's room,  "Try to check if he has any series injuries Sunny" he said to the thankfully kind hearted nurse who nodded at him can guided Kyungsoo to the infirmity.

He was still shaking with anger as he walked out of the infirmity, he was so furious he wanted to cry, he made his way to the principal's office, we have already lost a student to this, we can't risk another one anymore he thought to himself as his heart ached.

"So the student who was bullied was Kyungsoo right?" the principal asked and Minseok nodded his head, "Yes sir we need this bullying to be sto-" but he was cut off, "Isn't that the gay student?" he questioned, "Yes but sir this needs to stop, we can't risk losing another student because of bullying" he tried to explain, the principal sighed, "Kim Minseok our school does not encourage homosexuality as it is a sin, if we encourage or mention anything about homosexuality to the students their parents would not be pleased, so I'm afraid we have to let this pass" he said.

Minseok's teeth gritted, "But-" he tried to protest but was cut off by the principal again, "Kim Minseok, you know as much as I do that if the students know who you are they will lose all respect you've earned from them, I'm sure you're very much aware of that" he said, Minseok was last at words and he gulped,  "Now if you'd excuse me, I have more important things to do" the principal said as his eyes focused back on his computer screen.

Minseok clenched his fist till his knuckles were white, he turned around and walked out feeling frustrated, he felt like he will fail his students again.

Sehun was still in shock when he reached the classroom where the students were acting like nothing had actually happened, it made him even more anxious.

He timidly sat on his bench when a had was placed on his shoulder making him flinch and turn towards that figure to be met with a gummy smile.

"Hey Sehun" a deep voice said, It was Chanyeol, "Hey I was wondering why you ignored me at the hallways today, you were also running I thought you saw a ghost or something" Chanyeol said with laughing, Sehun forced a smile, "Oh I was heading to the washroom" he lied, Chanyeol chuckled, "Anyways you seem a little dull today, let me cheer you up" he said grabbing Sehun's hand and dragging him outside the classroom,

"Aren't classes going to start soon?" Sehun asked as he let Chanyeol drag him, "Yeah but it's okay, we'll be back within a wink of an eye" he said giving Sehun a smile.

Sehun was confused when Chanyeol led him to an empty music room,

Sehun looked around the music room, it was painted pink and had music notes painted all over the walls and the musical instruments were placed in a certain corner.

Chanyeol got himself a guitar and sat down on a bench, "You play?" Sehun asked and Chanyeol nodded, "You want to hear?" he asked, and Sehun nodded curiously, "I wrote this song myself" he said then began to play, Sehun gulped as Chanyeol began to play with the chords

Sehun watched in awe as Chanyeol played and sang along, his heart warmed up at the other's deep and calming voice and after a long time he smiled from his heart because the song was just beautiful and amazing.

Chanyeol finished the song and looked up at Sehun, but it almost seemed like a different person, the person was smiling from ear to ear and it almost seemed like he was  shining, "That was just amazing Chanyeol, you're so talented" Sehun complimented and he was not even trying to sound flattering he really meant it.

"You're smiling" Chanyeol grinned and as though Sehun was not aware of it he immediately shook himself back to a more neutral, fake smile,
"Thank you" he said, "What for?" Chanyeol asked, "For letting me listen to this amazing song" Sehun said,
"You're welcome"  Chanyeol said,
Great one more step into getting him to fall for me.
