Be With You

Chapter 9

Cafes, parks, restaurants--Kai brought you everywhere on every weekend possible just to make you happy. For some reason, you were starting to like him and forget about the past. Although you hadn't completely forgotten about Baekhyun, your life made more sense whenever you were with Kai. You went back to the normal you, and you started talking to people again. You stopped cutting, you had better grades, everything seemed to be better since the day he confessed to you. One day, you decided to visit your friend, Neesha, and had a little talk about what had happened to you in the past few months.

"So what happened to you? You haven't contacted me or any of us these past few days--or months, I should say." She asked you in a worry.

"Sorry, crazy things happened. And I'm not in good terms with Baekhyun." You sighed.

"What? But why?" Neesha overreacted and slammed her hands against the living room table.

"Don't know," you shrugged, "it's a very long story." Neesha had nothing else to say and sighed.

"I even thought he'd fallen for you or something, aish." She mumbled to herself.

"What did you say?"

"Nothing. I said I hope you guys make up."

You snorted. "As if that would happen."

"Why not? You've been best friends for how many years now. You can't just continue ignoring each other, you know?"

"I know, but it just seems very fuzzy for us to be friends again." You sighed. "Oh and," you paused. "I wanna tell you something."

"Yeah?"

"Uhm, you know Kai, right?"

"Yeah, what about him?"

"Well. . . He. . . Confessed to me a few weeks ago, and-"

"OH MY GOD ARE YOU SERIOUS?" Neesha leaned over and shrugged you in excitement, her eyes widened and a huge smirk painted on her face.

"No, really. I'm just trolling you."

"Oh you, stahp it." She positioned herself and fixed her posture. "Anyways, then what?"

"Okay so, he's been bringing me out to places and stuff, and he's really nice to me. And I think," you hesitated to speak, "I-I think I-"

"Oh My God, YOU LIKE HIM?"

"Well, sort of."

Neesha spazzed around the room, ran around as if her butt was on fire, threw the pillows everywhere, and did any other sort of fangirling possible.

"But I have a problem." Neesha froze and didn't move. Like she was a character from a movie then somebody hit the pause button. Then she sat back down the couch.

"What?" She asked pretty annoyed.

"Uhm, how do I start this." You let out a big sigh. "Okay so, I really am starting to like Kai, but I still haven't gotten over Baekhyun yet."

"What do you mean you haven't gotten over him yet?" Neesha's eyes widened. "Oh my-" she gasped. "did you fall for him?" You nodded. Neesha gasped once more and covered her mouth with two hands in surprise. "Since when?"

"I don't know. Realization kinda just came to me. Maybe before high school started."

"And now you're not in good terms with him?"

You nodded. "I don't know what to do with him anymore."

"But you said you're starting to like Kai, didn't you?"
