Inner Beauty (Xiumin EXO-M) COMPLETE

Chapter Eleven - I like him.

-BamBam-
"Look. You've been pulling him down a lot. You've been hurting him. He's been crying because of you, Xiumin!" Yelling, I grabbed him by the collar so he looked me in the eyes.
"Why're do you care? It's nothing to do with you anyway. I don't see how I've been hurting him. I haven't done anything to hurt him."
"The spiteful words? Always bossing him around? Forever shouting at him and putting him down?!" He was getting me more and more furious. He couldn't even see that he was hurting him?! Did he just not care or was he dumb?!
"Look. Bam. I admit that I can come across as rude sometimes, but I don't mean it. Shin is my friend and he knows that. I don't take advantage of him. Anyway, back to my question. Why do you care so much about him anyway? It's like you two are attached at the hip. You never leave his side and...you act like more than friends around him." He seemed curious, wanting to desperately know the answer.
"I like him."

-Shin POV-

As Xiumin wasn't home I decided to make him some ramen. I knew it wasn't anything special, but it was something just to keep him going.
Lately he'd been staying out until late; practising his latest dance with his band or singing new lyrics he'd made. He'd been studying hard. I was really proud of him-...I mean his band. They'd been working hard all month! Perhaps they were preparing for the festival?
BamBam on the other hand. Wow. He'd made it into nationals, with his dance routine, with flying colours! I was there on the day of his audition, actually, watching him dance. The way he moved was enough to make anyone stand and stare. He was truly something. He will go far. I know that. I hope him and his band get to number one someday.
Then there's me. So far I haven't done much. I've done a bit of dance, a bit of acting, but other than that...nothing really. I was excited for the upcoming festival though. Although...there was one thing standing in the way of that excitement...The "Annual Porn Check was tomorrow. What was I going to do?! Hell, if I knew, I'd be jumping with joy. But I didn't know. They were all going to find out and I would be thrown out of the school and away from Xiumin and Bam.
