[HIATUS]Because Of You

네번째

A/N Sorry for the super late update. I've been busy in school and very lazy too. I lost inspiration but know I regained that inspiration.

Here's the not-so good update

Chanyeol at the side -------->

------

"Yoojeong-ah, wakey wakey" Chanyeol was shaking you, trying to wake you up. "Mmmm" you resisted. You both slept quite late last night but it seems that he was hyper already. "Yaa!! Waaaakeee uuuppp. We're gonna be late!!" He demanded. You opened your eyes and gave your lids a little scrub.

"I'l be waiting for you in the dining room okay?" Chanyeol said and left the room. You just nodded.

You, still sleepy, stood up and grabbed your towel. As soon as the water touched your skin, all the drowsiness left you. You wore your uniform and went to the dining room.

You passed by the wall clock. *damn you Park Chanyeol* Your brows furrowed. It's just freaking 6:17 in the morning and school just a spit away. You entered the dining room with an im-going-to-kill-you-park-chanyeol-stay-away-from-me face. Everyone smiled at you when they saw you. "What's with the face sweetums?" Your mom asked. "Nothing" you said grumpily. "There's just this wonderful person who woke me up 30 minutes ago because HE--" emphasis to the HE "-- said we were going to be late" You pulled a chair and sat on it, glaring at Chanyeol. "Sorry Yoojeong. I thought we were still at home so I thought school was an hour away. Aunt Yoonjo just told me a while ago and I felt stupid." He said. You just rolled your eyes.

After eating breakfast, you prepared for school. You didn't even mind Chanyeol asking you to wait for him because he was going to the CR. You still feel aggravated because he woke you up so early. Now it's just 6:40 and you'll reach school even before seven. You walked by the street while kicking a stone you just saw a while ago.

*kring kring*

You heard a bicycle bell. You turned around and saw Chanyeol riding a bike. "Why didn't you wait for me? We were supposed to ride my bike" he said. You raised a brow. "And who the heck told you that I would ride that bike with you?" you asked. "Your mom" he seriously said. If he said 'your mom' in another tone, you would have kicked him in the face right now.

You sat down on the back side of the bike. "Hold on" he said. You didn't even move. "I said hold on" You placed a finger on his uniform. "You'll fall if you don't hold, dumdum" he chortled. You grabbed the sides of his uniform. "NOT LIKE THAT!!" he suddenly semi-shouted. "You'll crease my uniform." He held your hands and wrapped it around his waist. "Hold on tight" he said.

While biking, you subconsciously leaned your face on his back. "Yoojeong-ah" he called. "Yes?" you said. "Nothing" he said. 

When you reached school, he left the bike in the bike stand and joined you. The I-hate-Park-Chanyeol feeling subsided and you were now talking to him. You noticed that you two were walking in a different route. He was actually taking you in gate number 2 of Kirin. 

"What are we doing here?" you asked. "I'll be fetching Baekhyun" he answered. "And for me?" you answered sarcastically. He gave himself a hardcore face palm. He pulled out his phone and texted somebody. "Come on, I'm gonna take you to the room" You blew some air, trying to release the stress. He walked you to the room and even opene the door for you but he didn't go straight inside. He ran back instead. You just took a seat. Your seatmate wasn't there yet. 

Moments later, Chanyeol went inside the room....with Baekhyun. A while you ago you felt disappointed but now, all those were gone. You understood it. *maybe he's used to it* you thought. you  just shrugged. Chanyeol approached you and gave a piece of paper to you. "He want me to give it to you" he said. He went back to Baekhyun and took a seat beside him.

You opened the paper and read the note in it.

Please don't get mad at Chanyeol-hyung. He just fetched me. Please don't get mad at me too. 

-Baekhyun

Your heart softened. *why is this freaking guy this kind?* You were thinking why his words felt so weakening on your part. *This guy is indirectly making me fall for him* you thought *but wait, I can't have a crush on him. He's sick. He's afraid of my kind* you thought again. Now you, your brain and your heart were pulling each other's hair because you all don't know what to do. You looked at Chanyeol and Baekhyun. Baekhyun's smile was great, you could look at it the whole day. His eyes were smiling as he was. His lips were cute from afar and you bet that it's cuter when it's near. Yet, from your view, he looked paler than you last saw him. His dulcet smile wasn't as sweet as before.

A tear left your eye. *why is he sick?* you suddenly thought. *why is he afraid of me and my kind? Why the heck is he afraid of girls?* Your brain, your heart and you are now in a psychiatrist's room and having a mental check-up. 

Chanyeol was, you have to admit, attractive also. His smiles were unexplainably cute and his passion of taking care of Baekhyun is to the extreme level. His height has chemistry with yours. OPPOSITES ATTRACT EACH OTHER, don't they?

--------

At 3:10, you noticed that your voice teacher wasn't in the room yet. He's a very punctual person (he said) and doesn't get late at all. Suddenly, a student knocked. "May I excuse the president of your class?" Joohyeon, the class president, stood up and attended to the person outside. You were really bored. You were just doodling on the back of your notebook while your seatmate, Sohee, was sleeping. 

"Listen up guys!" Joohyeon said, getting everyone's attention in a loud voice instantly. "Mr. Oh is absent today because he has measles. He didn't leave anything to do today but he said that make sure we prepare for his practical test once he comes back, okay?" everyone answered back "Okay!"

You noticed that Baekhyun wasn't in his seat and so is Chanyeol. *where the heck are they?*  You suddenly saw Chanyeol enter the room with a big frown on his face. You approached him. "Why?" you simply asked. "Baekhyun has fever." You can see from Chanyeol's face that he's really worried. *Brothers. He's really a hyung to Baekhyun* you thought. 

A sudden question bursted from your mind. "Chanyeol, how does Baekhyun get his grades in Voice class if he doesn't sing?" Chanyeol and sat down beside each other, occupying his and Baekhyun's chair (Him occupying Baek's) "In practical tests, he plays the piano but the piece he plays is a melody that he himself composes. If Mr. Oh says so, he would place lyrics on it and Mr. Oh would follow the melody and sing what Baek composed." You saw Chanyeol's eyes were tearing. "I miss him" he whispered audibly while staring outside the window. "I miss the old him. I wish he could go back soon" He wiped a, what you think is, tear from his eyes and sniffed. You placed your hand on his shoulder and said "Don't worry Yeol, he'll come back soon" 

Chanyeol faced you. "What makes you say that?" he asked you with a raised tone. "I-I-I.." you stuttered. 

"Whatever makes you say that, I hope it comes true." 

The look on his face was really pitiful. He looks like a father who lost his son. Your heart was shouting a prayer for Baekhyun's physical and emotional healing.

After dinner, you and Chanyeol stayed outside to breathe some fresh air. You leaned your head on his shoulder. 

"Yoojeong-ah" he called. "Mm?" He said nothing. "Ya!" you hissed. "It's his birthday on Saturday." you sighed and just leaned on his shoulder again. "What do you want to give him?" you asked. "I still don't know" 

Your eyelids were getting heavier. You tried to resist but eventually, you told yourself that you were going to close your eyes for a while.
