"i can't believe this, you got an a." baekhyun's teacher said. his eyes widening in shock as if something impossible just happened, which is what's happening right now.
baekhyun says nothing. what would he says anyway? thank you?
"you must be cheating." he shakes his head while his eyes darting from the paper to baekhyun. for once, baekhyun actually tried. he didn't try to failed the test like usual. why? the reason is simple.
park chanyeol.
before the test, baekhyun met chanyeol ane he gave him an encouraging smile. baekhyun was taken aback and couldn't help but feel butterflies in his stomach. no, he felt an entire zoo in his stomach.
one simple smile makes baekhyun actually want to try. and he did.
"no way. you must be cheating." he shakes his head. "if you're baekbeom then yes, i'll believe you. but you're byun baekhyun."
but he's byun baekhyun.
"you got detention for cheating." he said in a stern voice, not leaving a room for baekhyun to object. of course it's not true. but what could baekhyun do? deny what he said and says that he's not lying? baekhyun doesn't bother to do that.
meanwhile, what they didn't know is that chanyeol's eavesdropping on them from the start.
for the first time, he has the urge to punch a teacher. but he didn't.
he stormed in the room, his breath heavy as he tries to calm his self. baekhyun's cold eyes turn wide when he sees his presence. "no, he's not cheating. i'm his tutor and i know how baekhyun is. he's smart, really smart. even more than his brother. you have no right to accused him when you don't have a prove."
the teacher was gaping at chanyeol who's glaring daggers at him. not minding that he's a teacher. "here," chanyeol writes something on a paper and baekhyun realizes that it's a question. "baek, answer this." his brown orbs meeting baekhyun in plead, "please."
chanyeol doesn't want baekhyun to lie. he wants baekhyun to be his trueself.
baekhyun hestantly takes the pencil from chanyeol, starting to scribble down the answer. he's doing what chanyeol wants. for the first time, he wants to stand up for his self. he does the question in a short time.
chanyeol nods in approval and gives him a harder one, but baekhyun managed to do it quick. chanyeol holds back a grin as he cross his arms, narrowed eyes looking back to the teacher who was shocked. "see? now please excuse us." chanyeol grabs baekhyun's wrist and drag him outside.
they're on his car.
both looking at their front, not saying anything. then chanyeol broke the silence. "hey, baek," baekhyun perks up at the nickname. "i'm proud of you." chanyeol gives him a genuine smile. "i really am."
chanyeol doesn't know his affect on baekhyun. his heart is beating so fast he's afraid it will jump out. baekhyun manages to hide it all with his blank face. but after a moment, he failed. his tears are rolling down his cheeks, making chanyeol widen his eyes in worry.
"hey, hey, did i do something wr-" he didn't finish his sentence when he felt a pair of arms enveloping him in a hug. hot luquid running down his neck where baekhyun's face was burried.
"thank you."
