Time is Everything

Baekhyun was fiddling with his pen in the middle of class.

He was tired from all this working extra hard to catch up, which made him even more unenthusiastic for any of his lessons. He would much prefer to be in bed right now, catching up on sleep sleep instead.

Baekhyun often found himself staring into the back of Chanyeol's head. He was that bored he couldn't find anything better to do. It was a good job his friends thought he was looking at the teacher.

When the bell went, Baekhyun had never been more happy to get out of the room.

He shoved all his things into his bag and quickly hurried his friends out the classroom and into the cafeteria. He couldn't tell if Chanyeol followed or not.

When they arrived, it wasn't long after Chanyeol wondered in holding his folder.  Both Baekhyun and him locked eyes and smiled. The taller walked towards them but never sat down, instead he leaned over to where Baekhyun was sitting and lowly said "can I talk with you a sec?"

Hesitating slightly before replying, Baekhyun nodded and held up his index finger to Luhan and Kyungsoo as though to say one second.
The two looked at each other with raised eyebrows but other than that they didn't seem bothered.

Baekhyun followed Chanyeol as he began to walk back out of the Cafeteria completely and he started to wonder what the boy was to speak to him about.

They stopped around one of the corridors outside and Chanyeol turned to face him, looking a bit nervous.

"You ok?" Baekhyun asked, now feeling nervous aswell all because of his expression.

"Yeah, course"

"What did you want to say?"

"I..." Chanyeol started. "I was, um... I wanted to ask if you'd like to do something tonight?"

A smile suddenly appeared on Baekhyun's face. "Like what?"

"I mean- I don't know, whatever you want"

"Whatever I want?"

"Yeah"

"Then how about dinner?"

Chanyeol's eyes lit up and he revealed a huge grin which made Baekhyun chuckle. His heart was beating pretty fast again but he ignored it.

"I'm up for that" the taller looked straight into Baekhyun's eyes like he never wanted to look away. "Any day"

When Jongdae sat down, Luhan immediately grabbed his arm, giving him a look.
"Have you noticed anything between Chanyeol and Baek?"

Before Jongdae could even speak, Kyungsoo lifted his head from his notebook and scoffed.
"Isn't it obvious"

Jongdae purses his lips together slightly, looking back and forth between Luhan and Kyungsoo.
"No why? Noticed what?"

"They just...seem to be—"

"Chanyeol likes Baekhyun for god sake" Kyungsoo blurts out. He wasn't phrased that a few people turned to their table as he said it so loud. Luhan immediately shushed him and told him to talk quieter before giving a nervous laugh to the other students.
