—----------------------------------------------—

I decided I'd head back now since it was getting pretty late. I didn't mind staying here by the river, but now wouldn't be a good time because even if I did, I'd only end up agitating Baekhyun and my sister Taehun with my prolonged absence, and I wouldn't want them to worry.

Sighing, I stood up and walked down the path leading home. I thought back to the day I saw Baekhyun for the first time in twelve years. A decade and two years were bound to bring change, but he still reminded me of the boy I grew up with back then.

I still couldn't believe my eyes the moment I found myself staring at him in awe after I walked through the door to my class that Thursday morning. I couldn't help but think of how handsome of a man he'd grown up to be.

The thought alone makes me want to laugh, especially when he returned my stare with his own, just to pretend to look the other way instead. He really knew how to play hard to get...

When the teacher told me to choose my seat, I remember looking around the classroom. There were so many empty seats available, but when I looked over to Baekhyun, I saw the empty seat in front of him. I purposefully chose that seat too. Just as long as I got to be closer to him, I didn't mind at all. I could hear him whine and I found that cute. He was still the whiny puppy, some things don't change, I guess.

I also remember how torturous it was for me to last the period without the itch to turn around and smile at him... The thought alone of just knowing that I finally found him, but yet unable to speak or even look at him had me going crazy. I just wanted to be invested in him. I waited this long and with him right there, I couldn't even muster up the courage to offer him a smile.

Finally, when the bell rang, I stood up and walked away, although I was certain I felt his eyes watching me. By my locker while I pretended to put my books away, I'd see him again but this time holding Luhan's hand and walking towards his next class.

I honestly didn't know what to think about the two at that time. So many questions kept spawning in my mind. Who was Luhan? Was he a friend or perhaps something more? My eyes widened when the thought of them dating each other crossed my mind.

Seeing Baekhyun with someone else made me feel really jealous but what if they actually were dating? But I shouldn't jump to conclusions yet... Heck, I only got here like an hour ago and I was being a whole conspiracy theorist over my childhood friend and his personal relationships.

I sighed, slipping my hands into my pockets. I made a mental note to talk to him the next time I saw him, but what I didn't expect was to see him so soon. Luck was on my side today after all.

He looked towards me with a smile that soon disappeared from his pretty pink lips. He turned away and hit Luhan with his book and said something while smirking happily. I also noticed him making faces at Luhan while his beautiful fingers were stretched out towards him.

I felt a pang in my chest. Watching him smile like that made me think that maybe... Maybe they were in love. I looked away but then spotted a seat just a few seats behind him and made my way towards it. I still remember the look he gave me, and the way his beautiful smile vanished before my eyes.

I decided to stay true to my cold image and almost rolled my eyes at him. Luhan then politely pushed Baekhyun's hands to the side while I walked to my unclaimed seat for the term.

I was glad I got to see him again, though I would've loved the opportunity to sit close to Baekhyun. I shook my head, rubbing my chin to shrug away the impossible and pulled out my textbook.
