The faults in Byun Baekhyun

Chapter 7: Surprise

Fuck Byun Baekhyun. Chanyeol thinks to himself, face flushed with anger as he stomps to his class the next day. What the hell is wrong with him?

First he goes and buys me dinner for no fucking reason, and the next he goes and says he wants nothing to do with me! To think I had even considered to make a truce with him and had wanted to start over with him!

Just what the fu –

Chanyeol fumes in anger as he storms to his Dentistry class. In the lecture, Chanyeol doesn't hear a single word his lecturer says, because in his mind it's all Byun Baekhyun this and Byun Baekhyun that, from It's all Byun Baekhyun's fault to Fuck you, Byun Baekhyun, until he becomes so pissed off that he slams his fists on the table and lets out a roar...

... Then he realises he's in class.

"Chanyeol-ssi, is everything all right?" His lecturer, Mr Bae, asks in mock concern, and Chanyeol can already feel his lecturer's eyes roll in annoyance.

"Uh ..." Chanyeol flushes until his ears go red. "I was just ... uh ... thinking about someone I hate ..."

"Well then, you should do it in your spare time." A few girls giggle and Chanyeol sits down in embarrassment. Still, he can't help rolling his eyes at those bisexual girls who continue to fawn over Mr Bae. What's so good about him anyway? He's not even remotely funny.

Chanyeol grumbles to himself in annoyance as the class proceeds, and in his mind he curses non-stop at Byun Baekhyun, who once again has gotten him into trouble.

That night, Chanyeol sits on his desk and finishes his homework with a satisfied smirk on his face. However, the very same smirk disappears when he turns and sees the empty bed next to his own. Where the hell is that idiot? He thinks to himself. ... Not that I care, of course ... Does he hate me that much that he would want to avoid me at all costs?

...

Why would I care?

Why am I reassuring myself?

Shaking silly thoughts out of his mind, Chanyeol sighs and looks at the clock, it reading 10:30pm. Time to prepare to go sleep.

It's 3:03am, and Chanyeol is still not asleep.

Why? Because Byun Baekhyun is still not here.

Fuck this kid. Chanyeol growls in his head for the millionth time that night as he tosses and turns on his bed. Where the hell is he?

It's not that he is concerned, Chanyeol tells himself. It's just that he's a caring roommate who cares for his roommate. That's all. Still, it feels lacking without Baekhyun's presence next to him. In a way, it's good, but at the same time it feels strangely weird.

The reason he can't sleep because Baekhyun's not here is because he can't think of anything to annoy his enemy. Yeah, that must be it.

That must be it ...
