The Wolf and the Beauty

TWATB #2

It was a little later in college where the trio met the new transfer student from Bucheon, Byun Baekhyun. The boy had moved into their neighbourhood and pretty much nobody could keep their eyes off of him.

He was a petite male, fairly short. His almond-like eyes twinkled like the stars. The brown orbs held galaxies making him more beautiful.

Call it love at first sight but Sehun had fallen hard for those almond orbs and the pouty lips which seemed to be calling him closer. Chanyeol stayed stoic, his usual self while Junmyeon was dreading about befriending a new person knowing what Chanyeol was capable of.

He was reluctant when Sehun came up with the idea of talking to Baekhyun. "Are you jealous since he's prettier than you?" asked Sehun only to earn a punch on his arm, "Don't be so rude, you kid!"

As they bickered, Chanyeol peeked at the boy and flustered when the small male turned to face him. Their eyes met just for a few seconds and that was enough for Chanyeol to feel something in him. Something he had never felt before.

Shrugging away whatever he felt, the male averted his eyes back to his friends. Seeing the two bickering boys, a giggle escaped the pouty lips. Sehun and Junmyeon froze in their spot and turned to the new boy who waved at them with a timid smile.

The two flustered boys cleared their throat before bowing at the smaller male and striding away, more like running away. As they walked away, the tall male paused in his steps. He turned to look at the boy's retreating back. He did not understand why but something made him want to stay there just a little longer.

While Sehun had Junmyeon brainstorm for ideas to talk with Baekhyun, Chanyeol carried on with his usual routines- going to the library, to his little spot in the woods and biking through the place.

It was just like any other evening and the raven head had his eyes focused on the book in his hands. He only moved to either push back his glasses or to flip the pages. The whole place was awfully silent until a loud thud disturbed it.

Everyone turned to the Fantasy section where a boy stood with a book in his hand and a few by his feet. "Sorry," he apologized with a polite bow before locking eyes with the raven head. Chanyeol gulped as he stared at the male before breaking off the eye contact and getting back to his book.

The people got back to their respective books while Baekhyun got up the ladder trying to arrange the books back on the shelf only to be stopped when he heard someone clear their throat beside him. "I don't think you can reach that," said the tall raven head and Baekhyun looked at the top shelf before nodding.

The younger got down the ladder and watched as Chanyeol go up to arrange the books. When he got down, the taller leaned closer to the other who flustered and whispered, "Next time, ask someone to help you. I don't think anyone would refuse you."

Baekhyun nodded with a little smile. Chanyeol averted his eyes to the boy's hands. Feeling a little awkward by that, the younger cleared his throat, "What is it?" The other boy pointed to his soft hands, "Your mole is pretty. The one on your thumb."

The younger smiled with cheeks dusted in pink, "Thank you." Chanyeol looked at the boy, "Should you not be thanking your mother for that?" Baekhyun gave an embarrassed nod and watched as the boy walked back to his spot at the table.

It was since that day when both the boys realized that they loved reading books. When they met somewhere by accident, they were able to have conversations about the books. They loved the same genre so the two had no trouble in getting along.

It was a few days later when Sehun and Junmyeon saw the two debating over the books they had read. "You traitor!" Sehun whined crossing his arms in front of his chest. Chanyeol looked up from behind his jet black bangs like a lost puppy and Baekhyun chuckled.
