Baekhyun had walked Jongdae to his house after they had a drink in a near bubble tea shop. It was already nighttime and he knew Jongdae wasn't good at directions especially since he was new here in Seoul. Jongdae came from Busan and he was a 'good' friend that's why he wanted to be his 'tour guide'. If you only new that he got lost in the school and he came in the class sweating and panting after that. It was tragic! He didn't want that to happen again.

Jongdae was also accelerated and he is soon to be a teacher in the school where Baekhyun also teaches, that's why they've been spending their lunch together. Students were curious at the guy and they thought it was his boyfriend, which is not. Jongdae's going to teach after a month because he's still in the verge of getting used to the environment of Seoul.

Baekhyun had an opinion towards the students in the campus. He observed that there are a lot of not-so-obvious gay relationships in the school. He was fine with that actually. Not that he's gay, but chances weren't that small, he admit. He knew he can't immediately say that he's not going to be gay because he can't control fate. He can't say he's forever going to be the best because he doesn't hold the people's critics and judgements. Chances are always big even if you don't expect it.

He was thinking so much that he didn't notice what's ahead of him and he hid behind a post. "What do we have here?" Baekhyun whispered as he saw two couples making out. The guy is somehow familiar, he squinted his eyes. Chanyeol. Aish. How can I pass now? He can't go back and have a long walk to his home! I'll just wait for them to stop. He decided. But looking at them told him otherwise. They look like they'll stay like this til forever. But who's the girl? He looked back at the couple and when the girl turned a bit, he was shocked. He knew who the girl was, and it was no other than Hyuna.

That's what have been the talk of the school. He just didn't knew that his girlfriend was Hyuna. It had been the talk that Chanyeol already found someone and he already gave up being a player. They already have been for 3 weeks, the longest time Chanyeol didn't dump a girlfriend and they assumed that he was already fallen in love.

Hyuna was Baekhyun's friend in elementary but because he got accelerated, he wasn't there on secondary and middle school with her. But they meet every so often when they're not busy with their own personal lives. He was even a part of Hyuna's extreme makeover, he supported her. He knew why she did that, and it's because of a certain guy she never named, until Baekhyun found out for himself. He hoped Chanyeol already found Hyuna as someone special and not just one of his girls. He hoped that he wouldn't hurt Hyuna since he knew how Hyuna loves him.

The kissing stopped and he was relieved. But it was not after he saw a tear fell in Hyuna's eyes and left. What was that all about? One last kiss before we're done? Is that what happened? He finally got out from where he was hiding and he silently prayed that he could pass casually in front of Chanyeol. He bowed his head and played calm while walking his way to pass the guy but his prayer wasn't answered. "Hey, Mr. Byun!" Chanyeol greeted and followed him. Baekhyun clenched his fist and unclenched it again. How come he could act like he just didn't hurt a girl? Is that what players really want? Just dumping girls and hurting them, satisfying themselves in return? "What brings you here?" Chanyeol asked oblivious what the latter was thinking.

Baekhyun looked up at the guy as he stopped walking. Chanyeol also stopped. "Oh, you know, strolling around," he forced a smile, "How about you? What brings you here?"

"Oh, I was just strolling too," Chanyeol lied and Baekhyun wasn't dense enough to notice that. He just saw what happened earlier. Baekhyun forced a laugh, "Is breaking a girl's heart called strolling? That's nice." Chanyeol could sense the bitterness in Baekhyun's voice. "Y-you saw that?" Chanyeol stammered.

Baekhyun scoffed, "Mr. Park, someday you will realize how you have been insensitive towards others. Being a player is just fine, but being insensitive is not. Learn to understand people better, you don't know that even behind those smiles and those sweetness is a person crying inside."

Chanyeol answered back, "Mr. Byun, it was never my intention to hurt someone else's feelings. They all know how much a player I am and they should expect that being the player I am, I can dump them anytime. Being a player, insensitivity is always accompanied with it. And besides, how can I dump them if I weren't."

Baekhyun looked at him in the eye. "You don't understand what I was saying. You don't get my point, Chanyeol. Persons have different expectations." He paused for a moment before continuing, "All players play for fun. They break, dump, and make a lot cry. But that's the main objective of the game, fun. They have their own mechanics in playing the game. Some players when they get bored with the other, they dump them. Those players are what I call insensitive. They don't know what the other feel. And I'm guessing you're one of them. But some players play the game because of a certain reason. Those players knew what it feels to get hurt. Good thing for you, you weren't hurt but someday, you will be. And I know that for sure." Baekhyun left after that. He left the guy clenching his fists not with anger but because he was confronted how he was shameful.

Someday you will realize how you have been insensitive to others. Baekhyun's words repeated in his mind as he was making his way to his car.

Being a player is fine, but being insensitive is not. He found his car and went inside immediately. Baekhyun's words are still fresh on his mind.

Good thing for you, you weren't hurt but someday, you will be. And I know that for sure. He gripped the steer wheel tighter. He was angry suddenly. The words came rushing to his mind, flashback repeating again and again. He wasn't sure if he will let it affect him but he can't hide the fact that those words hurt him. Baekhyun judged him by what he saw. And it was fine, but he confronted him. In. The. Face.

Good thing for you, you weren't hurt but someday, you will be. And I know that for sure. It repeated again. I'm hurt already. He didn't know why he was affected that much. He shouldn't be, he knew a lot of people already judged him for being a player but he knew how much they still love him even if it was like that. He was still loved by the people around. And Baekhyun's just a single guy, why would he let that affect him? Right?!

Aish. I shouldn't be thinking about this and just drive. He started the engine of the car and drove off. He turned on the car's radio on a blast while driving, just to remove his thoughts about earlier. But the song playing is 'Playboy'. Dammit. He pressed the next button and a new song played. But it was worst since the song playing is 'Hurt'. How could that even help me? He was beginning to be frustrated so he just turned off the radio and focused on the road.

He didn't know where he was driving to but he was sure he didn't want to stop yet. It was already late in the night which is great because there weren't any traffic. He sped his car in a fast rate. He focused on the road but he still was thinking about what happened earlier. He watched how buildings whizzed by as he passed by them. He watched as he passed a lot of lamp posts and houses.

He still remembered how Baekhyun looked at him in the eye and said all those words. It hurts and he already realized why, it's because his ego was stepped down and that's one thing he didn't want that. Byun Baekhyun, I'm going to teach you something you don't know yet, and that's falling in love. I'm going to make you fall for me.

The Phoenix's fire blazes as the darkness in him got the best of him, neglecting the light that appeared before him.
