You Don't Know Love

Bitter Truth [6]

Hanging out with Jongin has become a routine. Its not like she's forcing him to hang out with her or something, rather is the other way around.

Jongin was adamant about befriending Bakehyun all right, being the one who begged her to hang out with him every now and then.

Jongin is like a kid, he'd pout if he don't get what he wants.

Baekhyun often tells him that she wants to study but that doesn't stop Jongin from trailing behind her to the library.

but at the same time she couldn't just find the heart to reject him.

One day when the two of them were eating lunch at the cafeteria; what seemed to be Jongin's friends approached their table.

Baekhyun stopped talking with Jongin to see the people standing in front of them.

If she's not mistaken, they seemed to be the member of the school's basketball team.

While Baekhyun was looking up to Jongin's friends, she was surprised to see that one of them was someone she's familiar with, too familiar.

She immediately looks down fondling with her phone, pretending to be busy with something.

The other guy asked him about their practice schedule and earned the answer from Jongin about the new schedule practice arranged by the coach.

She thought that they'll leave as soon as they're done with their business but instead they chose to stay put near the table.

The guy who was talking to Jongin earlier was obviously staring at Baekhyun now with a judgmental stare, causing Baekhyun to fidget under his stare.

He then stares at her from the head to her toes, "Who is she?"

"This is my friend Baekhyunnie," Jongin introduced her so casually.

Baekhyun looked up when her name was being mentioned.

She bowed her head slightly while muttering, "Nice to meet you."

He smirked and turned to Jongin, "Yah Kai why are you hanging out with this nerd?"

Jongin stared at him making sure if he's hearing things right, "Excuse me?"

They failed to see the other guy's shock reaction at the question.

"Why are you hanging out with a nerd? Are you that bored?" He asked monotonously.

Jongin stood up immediately grabbing the collar of his friend, "That girl has a name and you better say sorry to her this instance."

Baekhyun quickly pull Jongin down by his arm, "Nini, its okay just let it go."

The guy huffed, "Nini huh? Whoa you two must be pretty close to call each other with pet names... Still I wonder though, why would you waste your time with this girl? She's not even hot dude, right Chanyeol?"

She doesn't dare to look up nor listen to whatever Chanyeol's response going to be. After a moment of silence with no words being said, Baekhyun understand the meaning behind the silence.

She suddenly stand up getting out of her seat, walking away from the table, successfully bumping Chanyeol in the shoulder as she made her way out of the canteen.

Chanyeol tensed when she bumps into him, turning his gaze to where Baekhyun ran off to.
