The Golden Ring • ChanBaek | ENG

[CHAPTER 064]

       I poked my lips with my fingers, which I really shouldn't, becauseI am wearing lip gloss - Kibum forced me to do it - but I'm just so damn nervous.

I've been standing here in front of the house for about ten minutes, I was still constantly staring at the screen of my phone where Sehun's message was open and I kept checking to see if I had come to the right place, but the biggest proof that I am in fact at the right location is that Chanyeol's damn expensive car is also parked here... It might be weird, but I already know the license plate to his vehicle.

I'm to much of a pussy to ring the bell even though my ass is about to freeze, because no matter how good these leather pants are, they are thin and it is still winter so I'm feeling the cold.

Should I go in?

Should I leave?

Hah.. I'm such a scaredy cat. I'd rather go back to Kibum and weep to him that the person I was supposed to go on a date with didn't show up so we can gossip about it, eat ice cream and just move on with my life.

I let out a loud sigh, turned right and started walking, but I jumped when my phone started ringing. I pulled it out of my pocket, I didn't even look at it, I just pressed the green button.

"YAH! Where are you going? Me and Sehun have been waiting impatiently for you to come!"

"Je-Jessie? How do you know I'm here?" my eyes widen.

"Do you know what windows are for? To look through them.. I can see you."

"Oh.." I blushed.

"Come on, I'll let you in," she said, and ended the call. Then it seems there is no escape for me.

I wiped my sweaty palms on my jacket as I went to the entrance, which opened immediately.

"Baekkie!" she held out her hand to hug me, but she quickly remembered that she can't. "Sorry, I forgot," she smiled, which I returned.

"It's okay, sometimes even my best friend forgets about it," I clenched my fists because I really wanted to brush through my hair but it's all styled up so it would be good if I didn't mess it up.

"What can I say, if I didn't prefer girls, I would try to make you mine. You're sexy, turn around for me!" Why do I have deja vu? I turned around with a frown..

"Wow, Baekhyun, your ass is everything every girl wishes for," I looked over my shoulder with a grin that made her laugh. "Chan won't be able to hold back, ah, I can't wait for his reaction! You can put your coat down here, if you go straight there you end up in the living room, where everyone is drinking and talking right now. Yeol will show you the rest of the house," she winks. "Now I'll leave you to yourself, but don't take too long" she blows a kiss in the air and dances away in a good mood. She is so silly.

Oh well..

Pull yourself together Byun Baekhyun, you walk in, impress and seduce Chanyeol!

I have to be confident and put aside my discomfort, because if he is around me for too long, my phobia of touches still comes out, and now I want to feel his arms around me all evening.

I slipped the jacket off, hung it up, tidied up the beautiful shirt, which I absolutely fell in love with, and since it was quite warm inside, I unbuttoned the first three buttons, revealing my milky white skin.

Finally, nodding to myself, I headed into the living room, from where the sounds of laughter filtered out, and of course some medium-loud pop music.

Before entering the room though, I peeked out from behind the wall, surveying the area. I spotted my red-haired teacher, who was sitting on the huge couch, talking to Sehun, gesturing with his hands.

He looks really good, this is the first time I've seen him in ripped jeans, he had a black t-shirt on his upper body, nothing special, but somehow he makes it look so fine. Or is it just me? Am I really this whipped for him?

I was about to enter, but I saw Mr. Kim.

Oh shit, I totally forgot, they're friends, so why wouldn't he be here? And he knows about us anyway.. Although I think he really doesn't like me, like at all and he shows it a lot when I have PE with him.

He calls me a sloth when we need to run, he said; even a snail would out run me. He also likes to judge my throwing skills when we play basketball. I'm not an athletic figure, I know that, but I ain't that bad! I made some scores! Not a lot, but still made some.

That's it, he has to accept that me and Chanyeol are... together? Or something like that.

I took a last deep breath and entered, a few eyes immediately landed on me, but luckily for me, Jessi stood next to me at a decent distance, turning down the music with some kind of remote control.

"Hey, pay attention bitches," she said, but everyone was already looking our way, but I only focused on Chan, whose beautiful eyes were now huge in suprise.

"As you can see, we found this cutie yesterday with Sehun, but you've already heard a lot about him, because our Channie boy can't keep his big mouth shut, behave nicely with him, or Yeol will take our heads" she smiled.

Huh.. so everyone here knows about me? Ooho, bad omen. He plays a really dangerous game.. But it's okay, I'll educate him about our situation.

Wanting to keep my formality, I politely bowed and introduced myself, and almost simultaneously everyone says "Oh, so you're that Baekhyun."

The edge of my mouth twitches in anger. It's not fair that I have to hide him while he told more than twenty people about me.

Well, it's true, it was my own decision to put a lock on my mouth in relation to this matter, because I know how my best friend would react but this is just too much. What if one of them run their mouths?

Chanyeol could go to jail for this! I hope he knows what he is doing and knows these people well enough to trust them completely, especially with information like this.

Well, I'm sure I'll have time to get to know them now.
