How to Not be Awkward (Chanyeol)

Lesson #13 Be aware of the signals

Chanyeol decided to go home at around two in the morning. He wouldn't let me inside the venue anymore. He got our bags and with a goodbye to Juli and Baekhyun we were on our way.

I kept telling Chanyeol we could sleep in the car for a while, let himself sleep before driving but he seemed to be more eager than me to get out of the place.

I slept throughout the ride being emotionally and physically exhausted by yesterday's event. I half dragged myself inside our house and remember before I hit my bed the sound of Chanyeol's car revving away.

I woke up to my grandma's voice rousing me up.

"Hina dear," My grandma whispered softly "were you expecting someone today?"

Her question caught me off guard. It was probably morning but the sunlight was peering at me from the wrong direction and it's Sunday, I'm definitely not expecting any visitors.

"What time is it?" I grog my voice resembles like a bullfrog.

"It's almost afternoon dear and there's a young man waiting for you outside."

Young man waiting for me... yeah.

The as if suddenly gaining my ability to think again, I bolt upright.

"A-a-a g-guy?" I sputtered in disbelief. I was still a bit disoriented. A guy? She's not serious right?

My grandma was taken aback by my sudden actions. She eyed me carefully.

"Yes dear. Are you expecting someone to come by today?"

"I don't think so..." I murmured with a strangled voice and the first thought that came to my head was Sehun.

Did he come here to say sorry?

"He's in the living room just come down when you're ready." My grandma patted my head affectionately, smiled then left.

I looked around my room. I was still wearing the dress Chanyeol gave me, even his jacket. I rest my head on my headboard still feeling virtually unrest even though I had been sleeping all day.

How did I get into this mess?

I pursued my lips worried about the rash decision of telling Chanyeol about our family's secret. Have I done the right thing by letting Chanyeol know about it? Would he avoid me now? I sure hope not. Only Juli knows about it and him. I don't want to admit to myself but I'd gotten fond of him.

He's just a solace to my quiet life. He's everything that opposes to my dreary character. He's like out of everything monotone in my life he's probably the brightest one.

Just like Sehun A part of me reminded me.

I frowned. No, Chanyeol is different from Sehun.

But they're friends.

I rubbed my eyes angrily. Why am I thinking so much about this?

No, no no no no forget Sehun forget Chanyeol. I'm not going to think anything about them.

I'm not.

"Visitor" I muttered and I got up and washed my face inside the bathroom.

Who cares about this visitor, I bet its Baekhyun.

___

"What are you doing here?" I hissed as soon as I got down and saw the guy looking around the house with a timid expression on his face.

It was Chanyeol.

"Hi," he said too brightly for my liking. What is this guy doing here?

I looked at him hard.
