What is love?

part 5

Baekhyun ran outside. He ran towards the park he and Minseok always went to. How could he let this happen. He knew he was too late but he still had hope. His crush had gotten so big that he didn't notice how close Jongdae was with Minseok the past week. It was clear that they were dating but Baekhyun only focused on Minseok.

He feels his pocket but notices he forgot his pack of cigarettes. "Fuck." He mumbles under his breath. Probably left them in his room. As long as Chanyeol doesn't find them its fine. He sighs and sits down on a bench. The realisation kicked in and Baekhyun started crying. He really was too late. He stood up and decided to get a new pack of cigarettes. He needed to smoke right now. He didn't care anymore.

He walked into the shop and walked to the counter and bought his cigarettes. "Are you okay kid?" asks the woman who hands him the cigarettes. Baekhyun had forgotten he was still crying. "It's nothing." He quickly answers before walking out again. He wipes his tears away as he lights up a cigarette. As soon as he finishes the first one, he lights up the second. He didn't care.

The cigarettes weren't enough for him. He needed alcohol. Still smoking he walked to the closest liquor store, bought some, and walked out again. He didn't care that he can't drink in public, there were bare people so no one would notice.

30 minutes later Baekhyun decided to go home. He had finished his alcohol so he was pretty drunk and couldn't walk straight. Everyone at the dorms were already asleep, except for Minseok, Jongdae and Junmyeon. They were waiting for Baekhyun to come home. They were all very confused of why Baekhyun stormed out and wanted to know. It was already very late and Minseok had fallen asleep against Jongdae, who was talking with Junmyeon.

"I can't believe he's still out." Junmyeon says, slightly pissed off. "Junmyeon, do you think he ran out because of us?" Jongdae asks silently, almost scared to ask it because he knows the answer.

"I'm not sure," Junmyeon says. "I think he was really surprised. But we need to ask him." Jongdae nods. He looks at Minseok sleeping against him and softly smiles. They chat for about 10 minutes, then they hear a door open and are both silent. Baekhyun stumbles in, still drunk. He was surprised that there were still people waiting for him. Because it was 2 am he had thought that everyone was asleep.

As soon as Junmyeon and Jongdae notice that Baekhyun is completely drunk, they both stand up. Minseok who had fallen asleep against Jongdae, immediately wakes up. He looks around the room before noticing what's going on. Baekhyun came home.

"Baekhyun, what the fuck." Jongdae says. Baekhyun just looked at him as he slightly teared up. Minseok, who had just woken up, finally noticed that Baekhyun wasn't okay and he got up. He walked towards Jongdae and clinged onto Jongdae. Baekhyun looked at the two before running to his room. Minseok wanted to go after him but Jongdae grabbed his arm.

"leave him, we talk to him tomorrow." Junmyeon says. Minseok and Jongdae look at him. Minseoks nods but Jongdae doesn't agree. "We waited for 2 hours for his ass to come back home and now you're telling us to leave him alone." He let go of Minseok as he walked towards Baekhyuns room.

"Baekhyun!" Jongdae almost yells as he storms into Baekhyuns room. Baekhyun looks up scared. Jongdae could smell the mix of alcohol and cigarettes. He immediately lowered his voice as he saw that Baekhyun was crying. "Baekhyun what's wrong?" he then asks, a lot calmer and softer. Baekhyun didn't answer. Jongdae sighs and kneels down beside Baekhyun.

"Is it because me and Minseok?" Jongdae asks. Baekhyun was silent again and it began to piss Jongdae off. "Baekhyun, whatever is bothering you, I would like it if you told me. This isn't good. Storming out, staying away for 2 hours and then coming back drunk. We were all worried sick. You understand that?" Jongdae says while slightly raising his voice. Baekhyun just looks scared as he softly cried. He hated it when people yelled at him, especially his friends.
