Black Coat

Chapter 13

When I arrive home I see a vase of roses sitting on my nightstand.
Curious I walk over and pick up the card. "your voice is amazing - chanyeol" my heart drops.

He was there? He heard me? My face starts burning. This is embarrassing.
"baek! Good job!" suho says as he walks into my room.
"who are those from?" he asks trying to see the card while walking over to me.
I quickly hide the card in my pocket. "uh.. Some girl at school. I think they were sent earlier" I lie.
He nods then steps closer to me. "you.. Smell like-" "like sweat I know haha I'm going to take a shower" I push him out of the room and lock the door.

Shit That was close.

I take a long shower and think of the events from today. He was there? Is he insane? I mean its one thing to sneak on campus when everyone is in class but its another to come to my school when the school is open and any student could be ready to attack especially my brothers.

After I shower I immediately unlock my desk and hide the note in my drawer next to the rest of the notes chanyeol has given me in the past.

The next morning I go down stairs and help kyungsoo with breakfast.
While making pancakes suho walks into the kitchen. "hey baek are you okay?" he furrows his brows.

"yeah why wouldn't I be?"
"you've just been asking weird that all" he shrugs.

Kyungsoo and I look at each other. "its nothing" I say and we watch as suho exits the kitchen.

I let out a sigh. "at this rate they are going to find out" kyungsoo says.
He's right.

At breakfast suho keeps giving me strange looks but I try to keep my eyes on my plate.
Later I decide to go to the library and find a corner to read in.
"are you really not going to tell me?" suhos voice makes me jump.
"tell you what?" I say standing to put the book back on the self.
"Tell me what's with you?" He says following me and I try to walk around the book cases to loose him.
As I turned the corner I looked behind to see if he was still following me only to run into him standing in front of me. "Baek what the heck?" He asks his voices slightly annoyed.
I look at him then start to walk away only for him to grab my arm. "Let go" "no" "suho" I say trying to pull away. "Just tell me why you've been so secretive lately" he says pulling me in front of him. "I can't tell you" I say hoping he'll stop.
"What?" He says stepping closer, glaring slightly.

"None of your business" I snap. He raises an eye brow at me then suddenly sprays water in my face from his hand. "What the hell?" I yell. With that the rest of my brothers enter the room.
"What's going on?!" Xiumin yells as he enters. I look at Suho then at them and shrug out of Suhos grasp.

"Nothing" I say walking out.
I walk up to my room clutching my fists. He doesn't know how much I wanted to tell him.. I don't know if being with Chanyeol is worth it... A tear escapes and I quickly wipe it away before getting to my room.

After I sit in my room for a minute, feeling a dryness in my throat, a knock is heard on my door. "Baek?" Kyungsoo asks from the other side. I get up and unlock the door and he walks in. "What happened?"
"I ..I don't know if I can do this" I suddenly burst into tears.

This catches kyungsoo off guard and he stands to hug me. I cover my face as small sobs escape my vocals.
"I don't like lying to everyone.. I don't like fighting with you guys to keep my love life a secret...I-I just wish things were different" I hug him.

"Baekhyun look at me" he says pulling my shoulders. I uncover my face to see his concerned face. "Do..do you think you may have misprinted?" He asks searching my face.

It honestly hasn't even crossed my mind.

"Maybe the pain your feeling in your heart is from misprinting instead of the being secretive about this" my chest aches but I'm not sure that's the reason.
