Starting With You. /S.Coups x Reader/

37. Overflowing From Problems.

Baekho's Pov.

"Is something wrong?" I looked at Bo-a and she fixed her bag quickly.

"Sorry, the laptop was just getting heavy." She sniffed, then glanced back at me. "But why can't she anymore?"

"Because she likes someone else." I huffed.

"What does that have to do with anything?" She questioned, and I sighed.

"I may have fallen for her quickly and probably was a bit too much. She probably hates me." We went to a vending machine as she bought a drink. "But..She seemed like she had already known this guy for a long time and likes him instead."

"Seems like a big problem to me." She opened the can as it popped. She took a big gulp whilst continuing to walk. "She must really like him a lot to not even want to walk with you anymore." We made it outside and exited the campus.

I kept silent, just overthinking most of it.
Then we came to a halt once again and noticed her look another direction.

"Hm? Baekho?" I gazed over at the voice and it was that Seungcheol guy again. "Hey! It's nice to meet you again- You go to this school-..."

"She must really like him a lot to not even walk with you anymore."

"Don't."

The way they looked at eachother in the restaurant..It's..

"ALL BECAUSE OF YOU!" I punched Seungcheol directly, panting. I watched him drop to the ground and Bo-a took my arms.

"BAEKHO! STOP!" She was tugging on me but I only focused on him.

"I COULD'VE HAD A CHANCE BUT JUST YOU EXISTING WIPES IT AWAY!" I yelled out, ignoring the other people staring at me with worry.

"What?.." He just held his cheek, rubbing on it. "What the hell do you think your problem is..?" He stood back up, unfazed. "I don't know how insane you are..But this is overboard. I came to say hi and you just punch me..Isn't that ridiculous?!" He scoffed.

"W-Wait- Let's not fight." Bo-a dragged me off and I eventually was able to breathe again. What did I do..? Why did I do that? Am I really insane? "I'll walk you home. Come on." I just heard her say and we made it all the way back to Taerin's house.

Taerin unlocked the door and was surprised to see me.

Taerin's Pov.

"Oh- Hello." I greeted the girl in front of me. And as usual Baekho walked past me but I felt something off. I was like his guardian and of course concern came first. "Is something wrong?" I asked her.

"It's not best if we speak here. Could I have your number?" She requested and we exchanged numbers. Throughout the night, she hadn't texted me at all and I, of course, did not want to text first. Feeling as if I were nosy.

Neither did Seungcheol text even though he's mostly free at this time of evening.

I slept it off and decided to worry about it the next day.

S.Coups' Pov.

I marched my way back home and Seungmin was there waiting. "Seungcheol-! What happened to your face?!" He stood up, shrieking Kkuma.

"Taerin's stupid roommate did this!" I raged and he went to check up on me. "I hate him with my guts! I tried to be nice like you said but look what happened!" I slammed the wall and he held me still.

"I'm sorry but how would I know that something like this would happen?! Why did he punch you?!" Seungmin exclaimed, taking cream.

"I don't know! He's insane! Taerin is living with a psycho!" I was scaring Kkuma so I tried to calm down my tone.

"Okay, calm down. I'm sure Taerin is fine..Just text her later to sort this out." He gave advice once again.

"If it doesn't work, I'm never asking you for advice again." He nodded and I made my way to my room, taking off my coat. "Why the hell?! It pisses me off so much!" I slammed the door.

"Don't slam the door jeez!" Seungmin yelled at me. I opened the door and then closed it softly this time.

Taerin

Sorry that I texted
so late but I need to
say something
important.

It's about Baekho.

I don't know why
he punched me but
I guessed that you
know something?

It's fine if not but
it upset me and it'd
be real nice if you
could talk to him
about it.

I switched off my phone and grumbled to myself. Jeonghan rang me and I fixed my hair. "Jeonghan." I called him out and his face peeked out.

"Coups! Thanks for the gift- what happened to your face?!" He saw it immediately.

"I got punched." I frowned, hugging my pillow.

"By who?!" He gasped, moving his phone around.

"A friend of Taerin's." I groaned not wanting to say that idiotic name of his.

"Are you okay?!"

"Mhm. It isn't so painful I suppose." I rubbed my swollen cheek lightly and shrugged.

"Ah- I need to get going! I'm sorry! I'll call you back later!" He waved and I nodded as he hung up.

Bo-a's Pov.

"What should I say..Baekho is in trouble? Nono..Baekho wasn't feeling alright so..Nono..Baekho punched someone..I mean yes..But I shouldn't say it like that!" I rolled around in bed, trying to figure how to word it in text.

"Or maybe I should first mention the person who got punched. Who was he though?" I tilted my head. "I don't think I've seen him anywhere.." I mumbled, getting up to get a glass of water.

I stepped out, hearing the K-Pop music my little sister was blasting again. "HEY CHO-A! TURN DOWN-" Then I was silenced by the face of the guy I saw earlier. "Cho-a who is that?!" I shook her as she looked at me with disgust.

"Since when were you into K-Pop?" She huffed.

"I'M NOT! Who is that?! Tell me!" I begged her.

"His name is S.Coups, jeez. Get a boyfriend." She rolled her eyes as I noted down the name.
