[ON-GOING] A Prequel To Annulled: 2190, It's Just The Beginning

4

A week has passed. It was actually surprising me that Baekhyun didn't made an appearance during any day of that week and he wasn't attending Basic Accounting for straight five days already. Something I wasn't expecting since based from everything Suho gushed on me, Baekhyun's a grade conscious student. He wanted to ace all of his courses and he feels like he's a disappointment whenever he receives a grade of B. What the hell.

"Excuse me but can I talk to Mr. Park?" We were already on our last course right now when the principal made an appearance inside our room. Something all of us wasn't expecting because it's not her mantra to personally appear in every rooms which she needed to talk with. She's always telling her secretary to tell the president of each sections to meet her.

Mr. Song looked at me and motioned me to go outside and talk to the principal and so I did. "Mrs. Kang."

She nodded and all of a sudden she's been looking worried sick at me. "Where's Baekhyun? Why was he absent for five consecutive days already? Have you heard a thing about him? Today's the last day of filing for the candidacy!"

And that made something inside me panic. Even though Baekhyun annoyed me with his selfishness, I can see it right into his eyes how he wanted to win it. I can see the dedication but he just somehow went overboard that's why. "N-no. He's not showing up."

Mrs. Kang ended up panicking even more. She said that there's only two hours left until the official filing of candidacy for the student body ends and if Baekhyun won't be able to file it, he will lose the chance this year and will have to wait for next year to be able to get his dream.

"Will you wait for it? I mean, I'll come into their house and get the papers to him. Will I make it before the deadline comes?" I asked consecutively. Weird because I don't know why all of a sudden I'm into Baekhyun's business. "I'll make sure to come back as soon as possible."

Mrs. Kang sighed in relief. "Okay. I'll just tell the board that Baekhyun was sick and his boyfriendㅡ"

And with that, my face was all crunched up. "ㅡwe're not lovers, Mrs. Kang!"

She rolled her eyes heavenly. "Whatever," and then she pushed me towards the way where it will lead me to the stairs. "Go now. I'll just tell Mr. Song that I asked you to run some errands so that you'll be excused. Break a leg, Park!"

I was already on my fifth attempt on pushing the button of their door bell but no one's coming out. I just realized that their gate wasn't locked at all. What the hell? What if I'm a thief? It will be a piece of cake for me to sneak inside their home! After entering their gate, I made sure to lock it. Auntie must've not been here.

"Hello?" I called when I opened their door and guess what? It's not locked again! Aysh! What kind of household is this?! I walked in even more and I was amazed at how clean their household was. I mean, our house was clean too but Byun's house has more comforting aura. Their house was painted of sky blue and most their things were all pastel colors. Something I really like because it's mesmerizing my eyes.

"Chanyeol?" I turned around and I saw Baekhyun looking like a shit while enveloped inside a blanket. He coughed. "What are you doing here?"

He was sick. I don't have to check on his temperature. Judging on how pale he look like right now, he must've been feeling bad and he was on his worse state. I've always pictured him as the person who always care about how he will looked great physically but the Baekhyun I'm seeing right now is the complete opposite. Just like what I've said, he looked like a shit.
